Somewhere in the
Between this and God
An angel sat a star
While thinking very
To return more to the earth He had assigned And a single 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 be brought
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 time was To this one of the year He could not this child's request So he he would start here
For though this was Christmas Eve And were all about Somewhere down below on He had felt child begin to doubt
A child who should been asleep was climbing attic stairs With her candle And a single Christmas
Now, when they are called They just appear But more than not They gently in one's ear
And when they to a child On nights when still glistens The are much stronger still That, that child, will
So in this room shadows live And ghosts failed learn time forgives friends, please stay awhile Our story with one small child Who spends this night in an dark Where dreams are stored sleeping hearts
Now, if you wonder why child is here With all asleep and near She's come up here to for truth In this place to the roof
For she had heard friends who feel That on this night is real no adults truly believe In all these things of Eve
This night that seems to cast a Is the world, just tinseled well And as she lay in bed night She wondered if they might be
And she then who she might ask About this that had been cast For adults, she had told, you see Are part of conspiracy
But in her mind becoming The of a child's idea
was one whose presence alone Would reconfirm she had known
But this man, he was so rarely For he only arrived children dreamed But if she had believed was right He should appear very night So on this night with so much at She's determined that she would stay
But then a came to mind It seems that fate had not kind For their chimney had closed that year Some bricks might fall, her feared
So she had another plan To hear on the roof he lands So the ghosts left here by fate Upon this night she sits and
Now as I'm sure you all know one is waiting, time moves slow And as she what to do (her options far too few)
The Angel caused that child to a yellowed pile of books Among memories disguised as junk She noticed a well worn trunk
It was filled with and one old wreath And several letters Some ornaments, a rung phone And with a gramophone
A mix of long words melodies no longer heard All threads of forgotten lives But here they had survived
These that had caught her eye Now in her hands seemed alive And as letter she unsealed A small piece of the past was
For weaves a life long spell And most of all remembers And as child explored the past Once that spell was cast
And as the child began to Upon night of Christmas Eve The Angel's plan, as you can It was already working So as the gently arise In our first song summarize
