Lovemongers - Here Is Christmas Lyrics

The night was black and velvet
The stars were all around
A stranger landed lightly on the frosty ground
His eyes were wide with wonder
Filled with stars and space
He'd searched the heavens over
Till he found this place
A sweet and snowy carol echoed in his ears
A song so faint and distant, so strong it drew him here

Here is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A thousand candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyes

He wandered through the city
Lost in the shopping crowds
People rushing people pushing
He watched without a sound
Cash machines were singing about the biggest year
But above this strange confusion
The carol still rang clear
Then he saw a raggedy man with an ancient mandolin
And he knew he'd found the answer when the song began again

Here is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A million candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
