about

A beautiful song by Anne Lister, which I learned from the brilliant Cross o'th Hands (featuring my friend and fiddle tutor Sarah Matthews).

lyrics

Oh I flew too close to the candle
And I fear that my wings are aflame
I should never have come so close to you
For this is where I will remain

There should be some kind of a warning
To those of us who fly by night
To beware of the cold air of morning
And to keep away from the light

Oh the light that it cast out was gentle
And I'd been far too long in the cold
All of the dark seemed lonely
All of your welcome seemed cold

There should be some kind of a warning
To those of us who fly by night
To beware of the cold air of morning
And to keep away from the light

All alone outside your window
There's just the pale beam of far distant stars
You could search for heaven forever
But are you better off safe where you are?

There should be some kind of a warning
To those of us who fly by night
To beware of the cold air of morning
And to keep away from the light
