Lyrics
TONIGHT, ITS HARD TO STAY HERE
WITH THE AIR SO COLD
AND THE SKY SO CLEAR
HARD, HARD TO REMAIN HERE
WITH NO-ONE TO HOLD
NO-ONE TO PULL NEAR
FAR FROM THE GOOD TIMES
AROUND THE HOME FIRES
IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT
HARD, HARD TO BE WAITING
WHEN THE WINDS SO SHARP
IT'S LACERATING
FAR FROM THE GOOD TIMES
AROUND THE HOME FIRES
IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT, TONIGHT
THE NIGHT'S SO VERY COLD HERE
IT COULD BRING A CHILL
THAT MAY NEVER LEAVE MY BONES
SO FAR FROM THE HOME FIRES
I COULD GET SO ILL
THAT I NEVER GET BACK HOME
HARD, HARD TO KEEP GOING
WHEN OUT ON THE NORTH COAST
I COULD BE GLOWING
FROM ALL THE GOOD TIMES
AROUND THE HOME FIRES
IN THE OLD TOWN TONIGHT
THE NIGHT'S SO VERY COLD HERE
IT COULD BRING A CHILL
THAT MAY NEVER LEAVE MY BONES
SO FAR FROM THE HOME FIRES
I COULD GET SO ILL
THAT I NEVER GET BACK HOME, GET BACK HOME, GET BACK HOME, GET BACK HOME
