Lyrics
TIS THE SEASON
When the last leaf falls from the oak?s mighty limbs
Winter winds growl so we hurryon in
Sotre the harvest, stoke the fires high
Gather our forces for the long solstice night
Tis the season, notjust the day
Driving the demons of darkness away
Raise our spirits, raising our voice
We?ll summon the sun with a joyful noise
When the first flake falls from the sky
Mother Earthgathers her blanket of white
We huddle closer to keep ourselves warm
Telling the stories of ages before
Chorus:
When the last gift?s wrapped on this holy day?s eve
And you?re weary and wondering what to believe
Go to the grove and ask the oak tree
What the holly, yule log and mistletoe mean
Chorus:
c 2003, Barbara Martin and Greg Trafidlo
