Fire At Midnight Lyrics
I believe in fires at midnight ---
when the dogs have all been fed.
A golden toddy on the mantle ---
a broken gun beneath the bed.
Silken mist outside the window.
Frogs and newts slip in the dark ---
too much hurry ruins the body.
I'll sit easy ... fan the spark
kindled by the dying embers of another working day.
Go upstairs ... take off your makeup ---
fold your clothes neatly away.
Me, I'll sit and write this love song
as I all too seldom do ---
build a little fire this midnight.
It's good to be back home with you.
when the dogs have all been fed.
A golden toddy on the mantle ---
a broken gun beneath the bed.
Silken mist outside the window.
Frogs and newts slip in the dark ---
too much hurry ruins the body.
I'll sit easy ... fan the spark
kindled by the dying embers of another working day.
Go upstairs ... take off your makeup ---
fold your clothes neatly away.
Me, I'll sit and write this love song
as I all too seldom do ---
build a little fire this midnight.
It's good to be back home with you.

he's happy to be back home and just wants to have a soft, humble evening with his wife. i love this song.
It paints the perfect scene; a husband and wife settling down for the night, in front of the fire, a quiet drink together. For all of us who like to be back home with our significant other, this song says it all: "It's good to be back home with you."
A pretty straightforward, beautiful song. To me, it always conjures up ideas of some kind of reunion after a long hardship, and setlling back into the simple life.
@rubyranger In this case, the long hardship might be returning from tour to enjoy the comforts of hearth and home.
