Somewhere in the
Between this and God
An angel sat upon a
While very hard
To once more to the earth He had assigned And a single for all of man He was to leave
But this gift he was to leave Could not be taken from the heavenly And how could he leave something If nothing could be
Now this was quite a And he knew not how to When he suddenly felt a prayer a child Reach into his heart
And though his was limited To this one of the year He could not ignore this child's So he he would start here
For though this night was Eve And dreams all about Somewhere down on earth He had felt this child begin to
A child who should have been Instead was climbing stairs With her solitary And a single prayer
Now, when angels they are They rarely just But more than not gently whisper in one's ear
And when they whisper to a On nights when snow glistens The chances are stronger still That, that child, will
So in this room where shadows And that failed learn time forgives friends, please stay awhile Our story starts with one small Who spends this night in an attic Where are stored like sleeping hearts
Now, if you wonder why this is here With all asleep and near come up here to look for truth In place closest to the roof
For she had heard from friends who That nothing on this night is That no truly believe In all these things of Eve
This night that to cast a spell Is the same world, just well And as she lay in bed night She wondered if might be right
And she wondered who she might ask About this question that had been For adults, she had told, you see Are part of this
But in her mind becoming The shadow of a child's
was one whose presence alone Would reconfirm what she had
But this man, he was so rarely For he only when children dreamed But if she had believed was right He should appear this very So on this night with so much at She's determined that she would awake
But then a came to mind It seems fate had not been kind For their chimney had closed that year Some bricks might fall, her father
So she had another plan To hear on the roof he lands So the ghosts left here by fate this night she sits and waits
Now as I'm you all must know When one is waiting, time moves And as she wondered to do (her options far too few)
The caused that child to look Behind a yellowed of books these memories disguised as junk She noticed there a well worn
It was filled with and one old wreath And several underneath Some ornaments, a hand rung And records a gramophone
A mix of forgotten words With melodies no longer All of long forgotten lives But here somehow had survived
These that had caught her eye Now in her hands they seemed And as each letter she A small piece of the past was
For Christmas weaves a long spell And most of all well And as child explored the past Once again that was cast
And as the child to read this night of Christmas Eve The plan, as you can tell It was working well So as the gently arise In our song we'll summarize
