Why hello It's been a while since I've had visitor Come, have a seat I know the place isn't most hospitable, but it's all I've got Please help yourself to a drink Here You look confused Have I really been that out of touch? I spent ages brewing this I couldn't offer it to my past visitors They insisted to leave Said the place they were headed was much better than this dreary place Not much of a talker I see Well, that's alright A merry old man longs company Even the silent ones Here, a toast To you and me I'll I have a sip too So don't worry I promise it won't **** you See? Warms you right up, doesn't it? Now, we have much time in our hands so let's How can I tell time? Well, I suppose I just can Time doesn't exist to me here. Where is here, you ask? Most people call here the middle of nowhere But I promise it's A far warmer place than where you came from You wish to leave, yes? You were gazing so prettily outside Of course I know the way Just follow the stone road back Through the thickets Pass the green log And you're right back in town But before you leave, Come, spend the night here I know it's a long way back, especially since the light's fading Please, have another drink and rest I'll see to it you have a safe trip back But for now, stay Here
