I believe in fires at midnight ---
when the dogs have all been fed.
A golden toddy on the mantle ---
a broken gun beneath the bed.
Silken mist outside the window.
Frogs and newts slip in the dark ---
too much hurry ruins the body.
I'll sit easy ... fan the spark
kindled by the dying embers of another working day.
Go upstairs ... take off your makeup ---
fold your clothes neatly away.
Me, I'll sit and write this love song
as I all too seldom do ---
build a little fire this midnight.
It's good to be back home with you.

I see comments about Ian Anderson being a Christian. Do you'r research, watch interviews with him and you will know what I do. Ian and I believe the same way. We do not NAME our faith. It is deeper than the pigeon hole of Christianity. It is the Spirit within and how to express it in our own "Authentic" style. Open Minded is a most valuable tool.

@Elibobbob I did not think he was a christian, I was replying to a comment that said he was. @lakotabob

@settlebrrd Why would you think that made him a Christian????? Very bizare thought process you have.

@settlebrrd One doesn't need to eschew recreational drugs or noisy groupies to be Christian. I've never used drugs nor enjoyed rowdy crowds myself and doubt anyone would define me as having "strong Christian Faith." Check the album _Divinities_ and songs like _Songs in the Wood_ or _Dun Ringel_. After long listening I'm quite convinced he's what we might call "British Native Reconstructionist."
