Ok.

1. Sorry to clog up the board with two songs in quick succession. I said, in my previous post, that I was out of inspiration. Well, today something happened, it seems. Anyway, here's a new, original song. I promise I will listen and comment on double the amount of songs, to make up for it smile .

2. I'm way out of my comfort zone on this one - for one, I'm singing more or less throughout it. But see what you think? All advice and feedback very welcome - thanks so much for listening.

Christmas


CHRISTMAS

I'm sat down, for Christmas ... the snow is so deep,
I'm sat down, for Christmas, and wish I could sleep,
The presents are ready, the tree is up there,
And all that remains is a reply to my prayer.

It's been such a long time since I saw you, last,
You kissed me, last Christmas, and left, oh so fast ...
You left me to wander, my hopes all but blown,
For everything's ready, but now I'm alone.

So let me just hope, while I eat Christmas roast,
That you've not gone far, but just to the shops,
That you'll return, some strange day, and sit down to talk,
As if nothing had happened, as if you just took a walk.

It's still Christmas Eve, the house's getting dark,
I blow out the candles, I hear angels hark,
I go wrap up warm, and thence off to bed,
Thinking of all the things you and I had once said ...

The vows of our marriage, the hopes we once had,
The joys of some children, we had it all planned ...
It's Christmas, once more, and I'm all alone,
So please do forgive that I still wait by the phone ...

So let me just hope, while I eat Christmas roast,
That you've not gone far, but just to the shops,
That you'll be back, some Christmas, and sit down to talk,
And if nothing had happened, as if you'd never walked ...

This house's getting colder with each Christmas Day,
So, please, if you care, don't let me so wait,
For life has a limit, and time is not kind,
So please, if you can ... come back tonight.

Come back, if you can, today or tonight.
