jethro tull - fire at midnight lyrics

i believe in fires at midnight ---
when the dogs have all been fed.
a golden toddy on the mantle ---
a broken gun beneath the bed.
silken mist outside the window.
frogs and newts slip in the dark ---
too much hurry ruins the body.
i'll sit easy ... fan the spark
kindled by the dying embers of another working day.
go upstairs ... take off your makeup ---
fold your clothes neatly away.
me, i'll sit and write this love song
as i all too seldom do ---
build a little fire this midnight.
it's good to be back home with you.
