03 Twelve Nights


You'll Know It's Christmas

You'll know it's Christmas
When the snows are begining
And someone's singing a song

You'll know it's Christmas
When everyone's digging the winter
And singing along

The days become dark
The weather gets cold
You want to stay home
Somehow we start to see that miracles
Can come

If there's a star in the sky
If the air is filled with the mystery
If there's a babe in the church with a choir
You'll know it's Christmas
Tonight

You'll know it's Christmas
When people you'd never believe
Start believing in you

You'll know it's Christmas
Cause no other time of the year
Is feeling so good

The diamonds below
Are frost on the road
Showing you home
Is it so wrong to hope That miracles
Can come

If there's a star in the sky
If the air is filled with the mystery
If there's a babe in the church with a choir
You'll know it's Christmas

If there is love in this world
If there is something worth struggling for
If there is someone you're holding close
You'll know it's Christmas
Tonight

If there's a star in the sky
If the air is filled with the mystery
If there's a babe in the church with a choir
You'll know it's Christmas

If there is love in this world
If there is something worth struggling for
If there is someone you're holding close
It can be Christmas
Again
It can be Christmas
Again
You'll know it's Christmas
Tonight


Starstruck

I was looking for a king
I was lost and needed someone or something
When I came upon a country barn
Sheltering a poor family gathering

Knocking on the door
Standing on the threshold
Mothers still feeling sore
Daddy's looking sheepish
A little unsure

I was only starstruck
I was only starstruck
I was only starstruck
For a little while

There he was inside
One of a family of three
I walked in my world started spinning
From such beginings are made
Holy memories

I watched him grow up fast
Listening to stories of fishing and the sea
I kept wishing I could describe
How easily he made it seem
Just being free

I was only starstruck
I was only starstruck
I was only starstruck
For a little while

I can't carry you
You've gotta make your own way there
This boy belongs to you
Move a little closer don't be scared

I was only starstruck
I was only starstruck
I was only starstruck
For a little while
For a little while
For a little while
For a little while


Twelve Nights

Twelve nights
Of wind and grey skies
Weak winter light like snow
Black cars and trams and buses
Up and down the Old Glamis road

Twelve nights
And I was born on one
It's nothing special now
Same wind and rain as ever was
With fewer folk around

Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter snow
Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter
Years and years ago

Twelve nights
Eleven mornings
Common strangers, family, friends
What lasts most with your memory
This world born again

Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter snow
Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter
Years and years ago

It's just a tale
It's just a story
But it's got me this far now
It's just a rumour
Only a whisper
But we all heard it somehow

Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter snow
Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter

Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter snow
Were you here?
Were you here?
In Scotland's winter
Years and years ago
