A CHRISTMAS WALK by Sam Wilkinson
01:01 I’ve been sitting here for hours
Travelling far inside my mind
Thinking of all the things to come
And all the things I’ve left behind.
I dream another world
Where the stars are all aligned
And it all goes fine.

01:29 I lace up my old winter boots
Stumble out the door
Walk through the churchyard
And I hear the choir call
But I don’t stop
Cos I’m sure I’ve heard it all before.

01:49 Behind an icy window
I see a Christmas tree
Beneath the baubles
A child dreams
Then turns his eyes
Towards the TV screen
An advert comes and fills his head
And he dreams for that instead.

02:20 Hold ‘em tight at Christmas
Catch each other if you fall
And if your dreams seem far away
You can laugh about the good old days
Till the new ones
Make you smile even more.

02:48 “It’ll all be done by Christmas lads,
It’s gonna be alright.”
I hear the general calling
From the ground where he now lies.
And the soldiers tell me softly
All the things they wish they’d said
So I set myself a promise,
I’ll never let a moment slip away,
I’ll savour every day.

03:24 Hold ‘em tight at Christmas
Who else is gonna tell them how you feel
Though the wind will blow
And the sun won't always show
Love is something nobody can steal.

03:52 I find myself knocking on the door of someone
I loved so dearly
But let so nearly fade away.
An old friend I hadn’t seen in so many days
Who brought me in warm with a hug and a smile
And we spoke through the night
As our memories piled
And we laughed and we danced by the fireside
With nothing to prove and nothing to hide
And we sang side by side.

04:33 Hold ‘em tight at Christmas.
Time moves on and on and on.
Yes hold ‘em tight, don’t let ‘em go,
Love is all you need, you know,
Yes hold ‘em tight
Cos love is all you need.
Yes hold ‘em tight cos love is all you need.
Yes, hold 'em tight cos love is all we need.
