Little Xmas carol for yu-all!


He he he. Yu-all. Geddit? Okay moving on.

I wrote this little xmas number with the idea that it would as though you heard the door ringing and a choir of frozen carollers began to sing this little ditty...
Merry christmas to everyone...

(offers of eggnog - once I find out what that is - eagerly accepted).

Throughout the night

Throughout the night
And every year
You take your watch
till day returns
And when it does 
You take your leave
Just one more lifetimes 
worth of cheer

What drives you on?
What keeps you there ?
Is your will strong as mine or more?
Or is it love which stings the heart
Or blasts it through another year

You have your brothers
Your sisters too 
Your children sing 
Your friends are true
The sky is wide 
The stars are clear
And Christmas comes
Another year


What drives you on?
What keeps you there ?
Is your will as strong as mine or more?
Or is it love which stings the heart
Or blasts it through another year

The angels hide
If such there be
In the hidden places 
you hold dear 
And gold and jewels 
Are not so rare 
As those who live to 
Love again 

In endless watches you stand before
And day breaks lighting up your face
And who am I to count the waves
Which break unending on the shore?

Though you may falter
And lose your step
Cold winds may come to drive you back
You'll draw your love around 
Your back
like a warm wool lined coat

As for your sorrows 
May they be few
And many your joys 
No cares plague you 
The road you travel 
Is Soft and smooth
And your companion I'll be.
