about

This is my Christmas wish for you (2020)

lyrics

The morning it is breaking like a sunny golden egg.
Come on, baby, open up your eyes
The flowers raise their heads, they do not bend, they do not beg.
They dig down deepand stretch into the skies
And the future sits there gleaming
in the corner of your eye
The past, a burden that you cannot lift
Today's a day that all tomorrows pass right by
But the present is a gift

The rainclouds they are clearing
in the whiskey morning light
Come on, baby, raise up your sleepy head
That mourning dove you're hearing
sings a song of sweet delight,
but it's neither for the living
nor the dead

The day comes for the darkness
and the dark is scared away
Come on, baby, we ain't afraid no more.
We're running with that river
to swim the secret sea
where never meets forever at the shore
