Somewhere in the
Between night and God
An sat upon a star
While very hard
To return once 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 court And how could he leave behind If could be brought
Now this was a puzzle And he knew not how to he suddenly felt a prayer from a child Reach into his heart
And though his time was To this one of the year He not ignore this child's request So he decided he start here
For though night was Christmas Eve And dreams were all Somewhere below on earth He had felt this begin to doubt
A child who should have been Instead was climbing stairs her solitary candle And a Christmas prayer
Now, when they are called rarely just appear But more than not They gently whisper in ear
And when whisper to a child On nights when snow glistens The chances are much still That, that child, listen

But then a problem to mind It seems that had not been kind For their had been closed that year Some bricks might fall, her feared
So she had devised plan To hear on the roof he lands So with the ghosts left by fate Upon this 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 caused that child to Behind a yellowed of books these memories disguised as junk She noticed there a well trunk
It was filled with and one old wreath And letters underneath Some ornaments, a hand phone And with a gramophone
A mix of long words With no longer heard All threads of long lives But here they had survived
letters that had caught her eye Now in her hands seemed alive And as letter she unsealed A small piece of the was revealed
For Christmas a life long spell And most of all remembers And as that explored the past Once again that spell was
And as the child to read Upon this night of Eve The plan, as you can tell It was already well So as the ghosts arise In our first song we'll
