I believe in fires at midnight
G Am
when the dogs have all been fed.

A golden toddy on the mantle
C G Am
a broken gun beneath the bed.
F C Am
Silken mist outside the window.

Frogs and newts slip in the dark
F C Am
too much hurry ruins the body.

I'll sit easy ... fan the spark
G C Am Em
kindled by the dying embers
G Am
of another working day.

fold your clothes neatly away.
F C Am
Me, I'll sit and write this love song
G Am
as I all too seldom do
F C Am
build a little fire this midnight.
G D
It's good to be back home with you.
