New Song Added – Ghosts On Christmas Eve

· 5 Comments ·

Here’s a little thing I covered for the Holidays.
I chose this one and not other traditional songs
because this song gives a message to Believe.

Christmas and its spirit is fading.
Hope and Joy are hard to come by
in these trying times.

Here’s something that made me remember that
even at times of darkness and of grief,
there might still be hope yet.

We just have to believe.

Ghosts On Christmas Eve
Music by: Trans Siberian Orchestra
Voice and all instruments by: Ty Martell


Lyrics start here:

—
In this room where shadows live
And ghosts that failed learn time forgives
Welcome, friends, please stay awhile
Our story starts with one small child

Who spends this night in attics dark
Where dreams are stored like sleeping hearts
And so it’s here that they must wait
Till someone wishes them awake

For somewhere on this night of nights
She’s looking to believe
Here among the ghosts on Christmas Eve

And there near an old looking glass
There was a trunk from Christmas past
That she had somehow missed before
But now decides she will explore

‘Twas filled with toys and one old wreath
And several letters underneath
So as the evening hours leave
The child sat down and started to read

For somewhere on this night of nights
She’s looking to believe
Here among the ghosts on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve

Offended?

·

A couple of days ago, I was talking to some insurance people on the phone,
and when our conversation ended
She wished me a Merry Christmas.
But at the same breath, she said
“I hope you didn’t get offended, with me saying so.”

Offended?

Because you greeted me a Merry Christmas?

I was actually more bothered that she assumed I was.

These politically correct people are really driving me nuts.
Some people have an intellect rivaled only by garden tools.

What?
That was a politically correct insult.
I am safe.

I think.
