“It’s in the trees! It’s coming!” When I was a child: Running in the night, Afraid of what might be Hiding in the dark, Hiding in the street, And of what was following me… Now hounds of love are hunting. I’ve always been a coward, And I don’t know what’s good for me. Here I go! It’s coming for me through the trees. Help me, someone! Help me, please! Take my shoes off, And throw them in the lake, And I’ll be Two steps on the water. ---

They stole little Bridget, For seven years long; When she came down again All her friends were gone. They took her lightly back Between the night and morrow; They thought she was fast asleep, But she was dead with sorrow. They have kept her ever since Deep within the lake On a bed of flag leaves Watching till she wake. ---

[Okay, more Kate it is…] Wake up! A good morning, ma’am. Your early morning call. You must wake up! [titter] Wake up! [titter] Wake up, man! Wake up, child! Pay attention! Come on, wake up!

“Wake, awake, for night is flying,” The watchmen on the heights are crying; “Awake, Jerusalem, arise!” Midnight hears the welcome voices And at the thrilling cry rejoices: “Oh, where are ye, ye virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes, awake! Your lamps with gladness take! Hallelujah! With bridal care Yourselves prepare To meet the Bridegroom, who is near.” ---

There’s a starman, waiting in the sky. He’d like to come and meet us, But he thinks he’d blow our minds. There’s a starman, waiting in the sky. He’s told us not to blow it, 'Cause he knows it’s all worthwhile. ---

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar, 'Twas light years of time since his mission did start, And over a village he halted his craft, And it hung in the sky like a star, just like a star… He followed a light and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed, A bright light of silver shone round his head, And he had the face of an angel, and they were afraid… Then the stranger spoke, he said “Do not fear, I come from a planet a long way from here, And I bring a message for mankind to hear,” And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air… ---

A silent wish sails the seven seas The winds of change whisper in the trees And the walls of doubt tumble tossed and torn This comes to pass when a child is born A rosy hue settles all around You start to feel you’re on solid ground For a spell or two no one seems forlorn This comes to pass, when a child is born ---
