Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Nature is sleeping out in the gloom
Shadows are creeping inside my room
Logs all aglow in the fireplace there
Lonely, I’m dreaming in my old arm chair
Chorus
Beside an open fireplace
I sit and dream of you
In every flame I see the face
That time and space will not erase
And when the cooling embers die
Just as your love died, too
There’s nothing in my fireplace
But broken dreams of you
- Darkness is falling, stars light the sky
Night birds are calling, night breezes sigh
Here all alone I am sad and blue
You would return, dear, if you only knew
