Tell Us A Story: Part Two

Tell us a story, Billy 
I’ll get another big log for the fire 
Tell us a story, Billy 
With tricks and spells and mad desire 
I know you got a story to make our laughter roar 
Doesn’t matter that we’ve heard that tale a hundred times or more! 
Tell us a story, sweet William 
A great long story 

Tell us a story, Rachel 
Of the man tied to the mast 
Tell us a story, Rachel 
How the sirens sang in vain as his ship passed 
Remember that old shepherd who saved a royal babe 
That babe became a man and his own father slayed 
Tell us a story, Rachel 
A great long story 

That bitter wind keeps howling outside our creaking door 
But our roof is snug and tight and we have enough in store 
And even if soon this old world is giving up the ghost 
Well, I don’t mind ‘cause I’m right here with the ones I love the most 

Tell us a story, one more 
A great long story
