Xmas

(album: Further / Deeper - 2014)

Drifting along at eventide, it was Christmas
Loneliest day of the year if you're alone

Where you going to?
Nobody knows
What's it coming to?
It's coming blow by blow

No snow for you
No not today
You stop your bridges
And you burn them all away

Walking about, give me a shout, it was Christmas
The saddest day of the year if you're still sad

Holiday spot, all hurrying up for the Christmas
Those rich Italian girls with their mum and their dad

Rolling along quite nicely thanks
Or lolling about our malleable shanks
And the serpents cut through the surface
With all their spray

Drifting around at the eventide, it was Christmas
Loveliest day of the year if you're alone

Where you going to?
I'm going home I suppose
What's it coming to?
It's coming and it shows

No cheer for you
No not today
They took your baubles and your tinsel
And threw them all away

Where you going to?
I'm gonna change my clothes
What's it coming to?
Well nobody knows

Where you going to?
Where the wildflower grows
Where's it coming from?
Where the river flows

No cheer for you
No not today
They took your baubles and your tinsel
And threw them all away

No snow for you
No not today
You stop your bridges
And you burn them all away
