about
Our good friend Rudolph got hold of our 2021 Christmas track and he decided to give it a complete face lift.
This track features Rudolph's best bits including additional guitars, string arrangements, horns and twinkle sprinkles.
Its essentially a bundle of Christmas cheer, neatly wrapped up in a mere 3 minutes & 40 seconds.
We love how this track has been transformed it just oozes, maple leaf treats and logs on the fire.
Sit back and let Christmas commence.
lyrics
In the Half-light (a Christmas Fable)
Bells intro.
Piano intro.
(g)
In the half-light of christ-mas morning,
(emsus)
With Santa’s head deep in his sleigh.
(csus)
There’s a face at the window,
(csus)
Breathing frost on the light-glow,
(dsus)
& it’s that time of year yet again.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
(g)
Merry Christmas my friends and my family,
(emsus)
Oh I hope that this year brings its love,
(csus)
There’s a bird on the wire,
(csus)
And some logs on the fire,
(dsus)
And some maple leaf treats on the way.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(g)
Turn the singers away from the doorstep,
(emsus)
No one likes all there stoopid ol’ songs,
(csus)
Stick a tune on the radio,
(csus)
Wine on the hearth glow mum,
(dsus)
& dance to some crazy ol’ song.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
(g)
Come together to laugh at the memories,
(emsus)
Oh they won’t last forever my friend,
(csus)
Raise a glass to the lost ones girl,
(csus)
Jingle bell rostrum swirl,
(dsus)
& some maple leaf treats on the way…
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
*Guitar solo.
