primitive and unfinished, but I thought you might like to hear it anyway

Keep Holding Out Rough Mix Down 1 07 - 15 - 2015

cry: bill canonico 12.10

vs1:
it’s a cold afternoon in december
soon it will be colder still
and i’m thinking about you my sister
as i draw my collar tight against the chill
where will you lay your head
with no roof and no bed
all i can do when i think of you is cry

vs2:
it’s a cold afternoon in december
soon all the doors will be closed
and i’m thinking about you my brother
struggling against unseen foes
who will see when you fall
who will hear when you call
all i can do when i think of you is cry

bridge:
angels from the realms of glory
let me not be led astray
tell me the old old story
pointing to a brighter day

vs3:
it’s a cold afternoon in december
all the birds have flown south
and i’m thinking about you my children
as these words tumble out of my mouth
when will you find release
when will your sorrows cease
all i can do when i think of you is cry

written in 2006. I went to Bill Hilt's house one day and he recorded it.

v1	
stuck out on the street with nowhere to stay, as the cold silent night swallowed up the day 
needing a place to rest - joseph tried his best but there was nothing
v2	
stuck out on the street with nowhere to go, far away from anyone they know
joseph prayed a prayer that his true love might be spared from pain and suffering

ch1	
mary i’m so sorry - I don’t know what to do 
she said, that’s okay honey, god’s gonna see us through
it’s gonna work out fine, just like the angel said - it’ll be all right

v3	
stuck out on the street with nowhere to turn - such a lot to lose, such a lot to learn
down in a dusty barn, trying to stay calm as they lay waiting
v4	
stuck out on the street with nowhere to go a baby cries - his mother whispers low
angels bow and sing praise to the newborn king - heaven celebrating

ch2	
mary i keep wond’ring - what does the future hold
she said, this trail of tears, it’s gonna lead us to streets of gold
and love forever, coming soon soon soon soon…
