Tell Us A Story (Part B)

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

I'll get another big log for the fire
