Skinny Lister - Embers Lyrics

Long is the hour, hard is the day
I dream of that safe and familiar place
Where warm is the welcome, the company good
Far from the battle, the blood and the mud

So stoke up the embers and warm your bones through
Forget all your trouble, there's drinking to do, come on
Laugh with me loudly, sing with me too
Remember the embers of love that we knew
We'll remember the embers of love that we knew

Long is the distance, hard is the mile
That drags me away from our innocent smile
Where wild is the welcome, the company right
Far from the rattle and roar of the fight

So stoke up the embers and warm your bones through
Forget all your trouble, there's drinking to do, come on
Laugh with me loudly, sing with me too
Remember the embers of love that we knew
We'll remember the embers of love that we knew

Take my wage packet, well spent at the bar
My soul I would flog it for one last hurrah

So stoke up the embers and warm your bones through
Forget all your trouble, there's drinking to do, come on
Laugh with me loudly, sing with me too
Remember the embers of love that we knew
We'll remember the embers of love that we knew
