This is a song for the Night Watch on Winter Solstice, about staying up through the longest night of the year, and keeping company until the sun rises.

lyrics

Wait
Wait to fall asleep
Don’t close your eyes just yet
The solstice night so deep
It’s as dark as it can get

Stay awake with me
We’ll put more wood on the fire
A night-long vigil keep
Listening to the small-hours choir

Stay with me, stay awake
We’ll wait to greet the dawn
See the morning’s first light break
Sing awake
the Spark of Light reborn

Wait
Don’t let sleep take hold
Keep watch with me, my friend
The longest night’s getting old
And soon coming to its end

Stay awake with me
We’ll keep the lanterns burning
Drink in starlight silver gleam
A toast to the Great Wheel turning

Stay with me, stay awake
We’ll wait to greet the dawn
See the morning’s first light break
Sing awake
the Spark of Light reborn

Wait (stay awake with me)
Keep vigil through the longest night
Wait (stay awake with me)
See darkness giving way to light
Wait (stay awake with me)
Feel the turning of the ancient earth
Wait (stay awake with me)
From falling death to rising and rebirth
Stay awake with me
