Somewhere in the
Between this and God
An angel sat upon a
While thinking very
To return more to the earth He had been And a gift for all of man He was to leave
But gift that he was to leave Could not be taken from the court And how he leave something behind If nothing could be
Now this was quite a And he knew not how to When he suddenly felt a prayer a child Reach deep his heart
And though his time was To this one of the year He could not ignore this child's So he decided he start here
For though this was Christmas Eve And dreams all about Somewhere down below on He had felt this begin to doubt
A child who should have been Instead was climbing attic With her solitary And a single Christmas
Now, when angels they are rarely just appear But often than not They gently in one's ear
And they whisper to a child On nights when snow glistens The chances are stronger still That, that child, listen
So in this where shadows live And ghosts failed learn time forgives friends, please stay awhile Our story starts with one child Who spends night in an attic dark Where dreams are stored sleeping hearts
Now, if you wonder why child is here all asleep and Christmas near She's up here to look for truth In this place closest to the
For she had heard from who feel That nothing on night is real That no adults truly In all these of Christmas Eve
This that seems to cast a spell Is the same world, tinseled well And as she lay in bed that She wondered if might be right
And she then who she might ask About this question that had been For adults, she had told, you see Are part of conspiracy
But in her mind clear The shadow of a idea
There was one whose alone Would reconfirm what she had
But man, he was so rarely seen For he only arrived when dreamed But if what she had believed was He should this very night So on this with so much at stake She's determined that she stay awake
But then a came to mind It seems that fate had not kind For their chimney had been closed year Some bricks fall, her father feared
So she had devised another To when on the roof he lands So with the ghosts left by fate Upon night she sits and waits
Now as I'm sure you all must 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 pile of books Among memories disguised as junk She noticed there a well trunk
It was filled toys and one old wreath And several underneath Some ornaments, a hand phone And records a gramophone
A mix of forgotten words With no longer heard All of long forgotten lives But somehow they had survived
These letters had caught her eye Now in her they seemed alive And as each letter she A small piece of the was revealed
For Christmas weaves a long spell And most of all well And as child explored the past Once again that spell was
And as the child began to Upon this night of Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was already well So as the ghosts arise In our first song summarize
