All Around Me by Ron Collins published on 2022-08-08T04:45:23Z Album: Life So Far FYC 65th Grammys Best Folk Album Another day fades And the year is nearly gone Fall surrenders The winter solstice has begun The ground is hard as iron And the river turned to stone Outside I stir the fire Study shadows as they grow They jump across a sleeping landscape Play pantomime among the trees I join the game to guess their secrets While all around me All around me Are the stars All around me Yes all around me Are the stars As the flames die The dark pushes back the light When fire burns to coal The shadows slip into the night Winter’s spell is cast at twilight Shifting light from orange to blue To lavender that ends in darkness Now all around me All around me Are the stars All around me All around me Are the stars All around me They keep me company All the stars All the stars
