Somewhere in the
Between night and God
An angel sat upon a
While thinking very
To once more to the earth He had been And a gift for all of man He was to leave
But this that he was to leave Could not be taken from the heavenly And how he leave something behind If nothing could be
Now this was a puzzle And he knew not how to When he felt a prayer from a child Reach deep into his
And though his time was To this one night of the He could not ignore this child's So he decided he start here
For though this was Christmas Eve And dreams were all Somewhere below on earth He had felt this child begin to
A child who have been asleep was climbing attic stairs With her solitary And a single prayer
Now, when they are called rarely just appear But more often not gently whisper in one's ear
And when whisper to a child On when snow still glistens The chances are stronger still That, that child, will
So in this room shadows live And ghosts that failed learn forgives Welcome friends, stay awhile Our starts with one small child Who spends this night in an dark Where dreams are like sleeping hearts
Now, if you wonder why this is here With all asleep and Christmas come up here to look for truth In this place closest to the
For she had heard from who feel That nothing on this is real no adults truly believe In all these of Christmas Eve
This that seems to cast a spell Is the same world, just tinseled And as she lay in bed night She wondered if they be right
And she wondered who she might ask About this question had been cast For adults, she had told, you see Are of this conspiracy
But in her mind becoming The of a child's idea
There was one whose presence reconfirm what she had known
But this man, he was so rarely For he arrived when children dreamed But if what she had believed was He should appear this night So on night with so much at stake She's that she would stay awake
But then a came to mind It seems fate had not been kind For their chimney had been closed year Some bricks might fall, her feared
So she had devised another To hear when on the he lands So with the ghosts left here by Upon night she sits and waits
Now as I'm sure you all know When one is waiting, time moves And as she what to do (her seeming far too few)
The Angel that child to look a yellowed pile of books Among these memories disguised as She there a well worn trunk
It was with toys and one old wreath And several underneath Some ornaments, a rung phone And records a gramophone
A mix of forgotten words melodies no longer heard All threads of long lives But here they had survived
letters that had caught her eye Now in her hands they alive And as letter she unsealed A piece of the past was revealed
For Christmas weaves a life long And most of all well And as that child the past Once that spell was cast
And as the child to read Upon this of Christmas Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was already working So as the gently arise In our first song we'll
