Lewis Mullen feat. The Tallest Elf in the World - If You're Cold

from Hibernaculum by Lewis Mullen

/

lyrics

Put down the eggnog please Mum
Honey dim the lights and get the gun
Something strange is looking in the window
Drawn no doubt by the festive glow

An elongated body, pointy ears
Bulbous eyes projecting eldritch fears
But the sad smile upon the strangeling's face
Reminds me of this long forgotten phrase:

If you’re cold, then they’re cold too
So bring them inside
There’s room enough by your hearth
For all to bide

If you’re cold, then they’re cold too
So bring them inside
There’s room enough by your hearth
For all to bide

Dad was doubtful of this course of action
With Auntie Anne he quickly formed a faction
But honey you and I will side with Mum
Open up the French windows and in you come

The poor old creature was near frozen
No sooner in the armchair dozin'
Than a gang of ogres came into view
In the garden, so we did what we had to do:

If you’re cold, then they’re cold too
So bring them inside
There’s room enough by your hearth
For all to bide

If you’re cold, then they’re cold too
So bring them inside
There’s room enough by your hearth
For all to bide

That little voice on the radio
Says bring 'em in, those poor poor things
I may have misremembered slightly
For my house is getting fuller nightly
Barely room for the dragon to spread her wings

If you’re cold, then they’re cold too
So bring them inside
There’s room enough by your hearth
For all to bide

If you’re cold, then they’re cold too
So bring them inside
There’s room enough by your hearth
For all to bide
There’s room enough by your hearth
For all to bide

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
