See the year out at nine

No projects have been started
All old ones are done
The parties were all last week
This week, they're all gone
Everything's closed and empty
Waiting for the new year
If I don't see you till then
At least be well, my dears

Keep each other warm at nine

So starts the first of winter
Also the longest night
Now join our celebrations
We use to praise the light

Snuggle up at nine

Now it's December
Outside it is cold
We're bundled in covers
New songs stitched of old
