Summer days were oh so long
Summer days have never shunned
I was looking for the cold
Don't let me freeze up my old
Crates of beer, and crates of wine
Days and nights, they'd not pass by
I would suffer in this cold
Pleasure in my winter home
Pleasure in my winter home
Get up and dance
Don't be shy follow through
Let me remind you
Fathers watch and mothers guide you
Go to wonderland, they'll stop you
Don't cry oh child
The streetlamps, they don't die
The cobblestones won't shine
The blind ones follow chosen paths
But you follow in the light
Estranged in pathways that I've known
Since the birth of my own kin
Tell me child, why you're so bold
On the road of deadly sins
Sing to me when I'm asleep
Tell me that you wish to keep
Secrets hidden like the lock
On the coffers of this clock
On the coffers of this clock
Get up and dance
Don't be shy follow through
Let me remind you
Fathers watch and mothers guide you
Go to wonderland, they'll stop you
Don't cry oh child
The streetlamps, they don't die
The cobblestones don't shine
The blind ones follow chosen paths
But you follow in the light
But o' child you'll follow in the light
But o' child, follow this old light
