Last week, myself and @theluxalma were overcome with festive feelings and wrote this song at @hibernacle20 . Hold on to your Sleigh Bells! ‘Tis the season.
He went to sea for the day He wanted to know what to say When he’s asked what he’d done In the past to someone That he loves endlessly Now she’s gone, so is he
I went to war every morning I lost my way but now I’m following What you said in my arms What I read in the charms That I love durably Now it’s dead and gone and I am free
I went to sleep for the daytime I shut my eyes to the sunshine Turned my head away from the noise Bruise and drip decay of childish toys That I loved arguably All our labouring gone to seed
Went out to play for the evening We wanted to hold onto the feeling On the stretch in the sun And our breathlessness as we run To the beach endlessly As the sun creeps up on the sea
A Christmas Carol from our favourite duo. Sallay Garnett and Lisa Hannigan have the best musical chemistry I have experienced. Their energy is contagious especially in their rendition of Undertow as part of the Courage project. Rarely you see someone enjoy singing together this much.

Hide your horses, hold your tongue Hang the rich and spare the young Who drain the spirits from the jars Hop the fences, steal the cars Run on fumes and from the north And burn for us right through the fall
All the ladies call your name Brush your hair like it could be tamed Hitch their dresses past the knees Spilling to the floor like ease They swing the bridges one and more And burn for us right through the fall
All our running ahead, all our running ahead All our running ahead
And we’ll seize the captain’s wheel A mutiny we’ve come to feel When [?] their aiming’s gone from view With everything we thought to do Oh, the devil won’t have me I wonder who will, I wonder who will All our running is a crawl And burns for us right through the fall
All our running ahead, all our running ahead All our running ahead All our running, all our running All our running, all our running
And so it is just like you said it would be Life goes easy on me Most of the time And so it is the shorter story No love, no glory No hero in her sky
I can’t take my eyes off of you I can’t take my eyes off you I can’t take my eyes off of you I can’t take my eyes off you I can’t take my eyes off you I can’t take my eyes
And so it is just like you said it should be We’ll both forget the breeze Most of the time And so it is the colder water The Blower’s Daughter The pupil in denial
I can’t take my eyes off of you I can’t take my eyes off you I can’t take my eyes off of you I can’t take my eyes off you I can’t take my eyes off you I can’t take my eyes
Did I say that I loathe you? Did I say that I want to Leave it all behind?
I can’t take my mind off of you I can’t take my mind off you I can’t take my mind off of you I can’t take my mind off you I can’t take my mind off you I can’t take my mind My mind my mind ‘Til I find somebody new

Lyrics
A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain Softly blows o’er Lullaby Bay It fills the sails of boats that are waiting Waiting to sail your worries away
It isn’t far to Hushabye Mountain And your boat waits down by the quay The winds of night so softly are sighing Soon they will fly your troubles to sea
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain Wave goodbye to cares of the day And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain Sail far away from Lullaby Bay
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain Wave goodbye to cares of the day And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain Sail far away from Lullaby Bay
