He is the tinsel on the Christmas tree
the Angel who looks down on me
the present that I want to see
each morning when I wake. 

He is the star that shines for me so bright 
and lights up each and every night 
I’m happy looking up on him 
each morning when I wake.

And as we rise up in the morning sun 
new day will bring us lots of fun 
my Angel still looks down on me
my Angel on the Christmas tree.

Sounds from Monday evening

Wayfarer

Rent me a space in a place out in space
give me a base on the moon
Tell Mother, I’m out for a pie and a pint
but tell her that I’ll be home soon.

Lend me the right to look out in the night
sell me a prophet of doom
and wish me away in the light of the day
but tell Mother that I’ll be home soon.

In the chasm of smiles
let me rest for a while and take all of my worries away
prepare me a feast and let me eat before noon
then tell Mother that I’ll be home soon.

Opportunity City.

The centre's all locked up
police station's shut down
I'm leaving with the rest of them and
getting out of town. 
The centre's all locked up
police station's shut down
I'm leaving with the rest of them and
getting out of town.

No future in this place no more
our faces do not fit
and we'll not be missed when we have gone because
no one gives a shit. 
No future in this place no more
our faces do not fit
and we'll not be missed when we have gone because
no one gives a shit.

The future's yours
but please close the doors and put the lights out
when you leave.

Opportunity City

Goodnight.  

When this evening ends and sends us both off to sleep
will you keep me close by your heart
will the start of the night
become part of the rite
of two lovers who dream
in dreams of a day when they both live to say
I love you and you too and do you think it's alright when we sleep in the night if we turn off the light and light the flames of our hearts and that's how it starts
and how it ends
when the night sends us both off to sleep.

Goodnight

The Wanderers.

Underneath pale spring skies
to everyone's surprise
'The Wanderers' returned telling tales of omnipotence
and the relevance of a divinity
I heard nothing 
I was deafened by the noise from the laughter of the girls and boys so filled with glee
that 'The Wanderers' had seen fit to see
to find their way and come home to be
with them and you and me.
I don't know where they went or how they spent those,
lonely days when I would gaze with fear set solid in my heart
and wonder how it is that being apart
is so painful.
Fearful now
I keep my eye on those that take it in their mind to fly away.
But what is day without the night
and night without the dawn?
Storms may come and go but this is what I know
'The Wanderers'
will always be the hope and the guardians set by the gate
of those who wait
for liberty.
