Come Share the Wine
A Warm Welcome: Finding Home in Shared Songs and Kindred Spirits
Lyrics
The streets were dark and the night was cold and yet I walk alone
The surroundings were dimly lit, and the night was chilly as I walked alone.
I saw the lights of a cozy place with lanterns all aglow
I spotted the lights of a warm and inviting place adorned with lanterns.
Somebody cried, "Don't wait outside, come say, hello"
Someone inside urged me not to linger outside and to come in and greet them.
The people there, they were singing songs I knew when I was young
The people inside were singing songs from my youth.
And from the jukebox I heard the sounds, I needed to recall
From the jukebox, I heard familiar sounds that stirred memories.
I sang along with every song, I knew them all
I enthusiastically sang along with each song, knowing them all.
