Eimear Quinn WINTER SOLSTICE

Winter Solstice - performed by EIMEAR QUINN

There’s something bewitching about the Winter Solstice. That moment when the Earth tips to her extreme from the life-giving sun. Darkness dominates, and daylight is scant and fleeting.
The sunrise (Newgrange) and sunset (Stonehenge) have been revered on this day for millennia.
Eimear Quinn (music) and Brendan Graham (lyrics) tempt the wonder of winter once more in this magical song, savouring the cover of darkness before the nights shorten and daylight makes her gains once more.

Performed by Eimear Quinn
Piano by Gavin Murphy
Arranged by Sarah Class
Mixed by Jonas Westling.

Co-produced by Joelene Curran & Marlene Curran.

LYRICS:

Shortest day, longest night
Druids moon, bleak winter’s light
Far on the path to Heaven’s deep,
the sun doth rest in winter sleep.

Draw to the hearth, kindle the lamp.
Hold back the dark, the cold, the damp
High tonight the wind will blow
Season of storm and swirling snow

But we will walk the winter wood
underneath the winter moon
See silver winter apples, winter berries, winter bloom
We will hear the winter wren
sing out his winter tune.
Winter Solstice, winter wonder,
you never, ever come around too soon.

To the fields and valleys low
from mountain side the cattle go
A shelter from the winter wild,
a stable for the winter child

And we will walk the winter wood
underneath the winter moon
See silver winter apples, winter berries, winter bloom
We will hear the winter wren
sing out his winter tune.
Winter Solstice, winter wonder
you never, ever come around too soon
you never, ever come around too soon
