A Feeling We Can't Hide

The frost has kissed the window pane

The world outside is drowned in rain

But in this room, the fire's gold

Where every stranger's story's told

The weary mason drops his load

Beside the rogue who walks the road

We leave our titles at the door

For on these planks, we're something more

Hear the beat, the floorboards shake

Oh, oh, oh

For a single moment that we make

Oh, oh, oh, let the rafters ring tonight

Raise a glass to the fading light

Oh, oh, oh, sing it till our throats are sore

Then we'll fill our cups and ask for more

Let the rhythm be our guide, with a fire deep inside

Just the music and the tide of a feeling we can't hide

The fiddler's bow begins to fly

A spark of mischief in her eye

She plays the tune of summer's end

And every foe becomes a friend

Forgetting debts and foolish pride

There is no place for us to hide

From this one truth that holds us fast

A simple joy that's built to last

Feel the pulse, a rising thunder

Ey, ey, ey

Tearing all our doubts asunder

Oh, oh, oh, let the rafters ring tonight

Raise a glass to the fading light

Oh, oh, oh, sing it till our throats are sore

Then we'll fill our cups and ask for more

Let the rhythm be our guide, with a fire deep inside

Just the music and the tide of a feeling we can't hide

One day these timbers will be dust

Our silver coins will turn to rust

But the echo of this simple tune

Will hang beneath the silent moon

So breathe it in

This fleeting grace

In this moment, in this place

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Let the rafters ring tonight

Raise a glass to the fading light

Oh, oh, oh, sing it till our throats are sore

Then we'll fill our cups and ask for more

Let the rhythm be our guide, with a fire deep inside
