Hey! Let the winds rage and roar Wolves may howl at the door Here inside the fire burns bright Stay with me tonight Hey! Oom pa oom pa oom pa oom pa oom pa oom pa paaaa! No need to fear the storm Love will keep us warm
Snows may melt, rivers rise lightning split the stormy skies Here inside etc
Raise your glass, toast with me Singing loud and joyously Here inside etc.
All the night sing and play Tunes to keep the dark away Here inside etc.
Leave the fire, come with me Love me sweet and tenderly Here inside etc.
