Ode to John

The night is cold
But now we have to go
The bundle in yours arms I know
It weighs the world
The star that shines
Will be our only light
The Moon can't face the sight
Of our child alone

All I ask
Is the joy we had
All I ask
We remember that

Remember back
Those days in Sonny's lands
We worked until our blackened hands
Wouldn't wash away
If we knew then
A night like this we'd spend
If we knew then
Those tears we'd shed

All I ask
Is the joy we had
All I ask
We remember that
All I see
For eternity
All I see
Is beneath this tree

The night is cold
But now we have to go
The bundle in yours arms I know
It weighs the world

All I see
For eternity
All I see
Is beneath this tree
