In My Room

Red silk drapes, frame this window This fireplace, embers glow, dominates this space Snow falling outside, stark trees, softened in white, part of the big freeze I am in my room These walls, lined with books, break up the gloom Crackle of wood, embers glow, lighting up the room so Shadows loom, dancing flame I'm glad you came...... In to my room This high ceiling, ornate so All this gold leaf, beyond belief Tapestries of rich green and gold keep out this cold beside.......... where you sat, the fireside cat These old paintings broodingly look down Old gentlemen, with measured frown In my room, a map of the world In my room............ my life unfurled Flickering firelight, embers glow All outside,........white Inside,..........warm so Cosy chair, cosy chat, fireside cat In my room, away from doom and gloom Flickering firelight, All out side,........white All inside .........quiet In my room, tall silver candlesticks shine, with steady flame Soft glow, on wood so I'm glad you came Soft scent of pine, drifts through, as we drink the red wine, from crystal so fine, sparkling too In my room, flickering firelight, illuminating the gloom Snow outside, soft and white
