Christmas Carols, Lyrics

images

 

So what’s the rush?

And what’s the fuss

Compelling us to ride?

And who’s this king

The special thing

Who’s got us starry-eyed?

Starry-eyed

 

So from afar

We’ve trailed this star,

Apparently a sign

Of where we’ll find

A Mastermind,

A gift from the divine

The divine

 

 

Royal Melchior

Can well afford

To celebrate this king…

But why confer

A flask of Myrrh?

The death of everything.

Of everything.

 

 

The reason why

Lies in the sky:

This Star of Bethlehem!

He shines his light

Through darkest night

His death brings life to men

Brings life to men.

Lympstone, Lyrics, Poems of Place, Song

Lympstone

(Requieset in pace)

 

North wind rain – and rust struck sea,

The teeming tide, clutching the quay;

Gushed and washed and churned the sand

Took the breaths of those on land

The wind blows still!

And then a walk from Lympstone’s sea

My hand in yours, though only

The cold wind and the wind cold sea

To warm and comfort me….

The wind blows still!

Did you feel the cold wind too?

Emotions chained and endings due,

Post dinner, port at Jane’s

As I left for the wind cold rain

The wind blows still!
