Glowing

The setting sun was sinking slow
At Cavan Lake that night
Russell and his mom had the fire going just right

Gramma and her faithful pal Tucker, black as coal
They were moving closer to the flame
The air was getting cold

We sang some songs as I recall
Even one I didn’t bring
That was that old nasty one that Grampa used to sing

So now when I get feeling bored with nowhere else to go
I slip inside that magic night
Not so long ago
