Because I haven't posted poetry in awhile

Although I'll be posting lots more soon!
Today, song lyrics.



The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun

Lyrics:
High is the moon tonight (ya da da da yada da da da)
Hiding its guiding light, high
Heaven and earth do sleep
Still in the dark so deep
I will the darkness sweep

ya da da da da da da....

I will the moon to flight
I will the heaven's bright
I will the earth to light

Open your eyes with me
See paradise with me
Awake and arise with

ya da da da da da.....

I am the dawn I'm the new day begun
I bring you the morning I bring you the sun
I hold back the night and I open the skies
I give light to the world I give sight to your eyes

From the first of all time, until time is undone
Forever and ever and ever and ever
And I am the dawn and the sky and the sun
I am one with the one and I am the dawn

Now let the day begin
Now every dancer spin
Step in and step out again

ya da da da da da da

Let every bell to ring
Trumpet and violin
Let every chorus sing

ya da da da da da da .....

I am the dawn I'm the new day begun
I bring you the morning I bring you the sun
I hold back the night and I open the skies
I give light to the world I give sight to your eyes

From the first of all time, until time is undone
Forever and ever and ever and ever
And I am the dawn and the sky and the sun
I am one with the one and I am the dawn

Instrumental

I am the sky and the dawn and the sun
I am the sky and the new day begun
I am the sky and the dawn and the sun




What's This?
Music and lyrics by Danny Elfman
(IIRC)

What's this? What's this?
There's color everywhere
What's this?
There's white things in the air
What's this?
I can't believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, jack, this isn't fair
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
There's something very wrong
What's this?
There are people singing songs

What's this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What's this?

There are children throwing snowballs here
instead of throwing heads
They're busy building toys
And absolutely no one's dead

There's frost on every window
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That's coming from inside

Oh, look
What's this?
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They're gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What's this?
What's this?

In here they've got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?

They're covering it with tiny little things
They've got electric lights on strings
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What's this?

Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What's this?

The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around

Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Is absolutely everywhere

The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough

I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I've got to know
I've got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
Christmas Town, hmm...

I like the Celtic Women stuff--have you ever seen any of their shows? Cool.

Damn! I want to copy that CD from you. We, of course, already HAVE the latter, as J'r is a BIG BIG Danny Elfman fan. ;-) I sent him the link to this post...
