Where would you be on a night like this

With the wind so dark and howling?

Close to the light

Wrapped warm and tight

Or there where the cats are prowling?

Where would you wish you on such a night

Where the twisting trees are tossed?

Safe in a chair

In the lamp-lit air

Or out where the moon is lost?

Where would you be when the white waves roar

On the tumbling storm-torn sea?

Tucked inside

Where it's calm and dry

Or searching for stars in the furious sky Whipped up by the whine of the gale’s wild cry

Out in the night with me?
