letra de holy day - davy lyons

now the hands of the clock turn to half the sixth hour
there’s nothing to be doing at this early hour
but listen to the breeze and birds that are singing
tune in to the heart in its newest beginning
as low clouds p-ss west across a slate-grey blue sky
and branch, cone and needle to and fro on the pines
and the run in the river runs straight through your mind
it’s as close to an answer as you’re likely to find

holy day, holy night, holy day, holy night

day comes with the details that were not washed away
we labour for creation, suffer, are erased
there are those moving slow, maybe up or down rungs
and those in golden shackles, stuck in velvet ruts
you know your dear darling knows former and latter
you saw her chains fall and the velvet in tatters
you say “let’s walk that mountain walk, there’s fresher air to find
let’s leave that search for answers aside for a while”

holy day, holy night, holy day, holy night

late, the dog lays his head on your lap in the bed
you smile at the old saying that he’s your best friend
he’s like tonight’s moon shining three-sixty degrees
he don’t speak, cheats only fools, d-mn good company
while downstairs your friends, a married couple, lie asleep
they’re gentle and kind, you’re glad fortune made you meet
be it dog, friend, lover, whichever lot in life
it’s as close to an answer as you’re likely to find…..

now the hands of the clock turn to half the fifth hour
if you could you would be asleep at this late hour
night’s black and blue, a c-ck crows for what is coming
you’re one foot closer to your final becoming
as wind whistles low, needles rustle on the pines
and a sparrow sings out into blue and black sky
and a cry from the valley comes sudden and high
they are as close to an answer as you or i

holy day, holy night, holy day, holy night
