The Ghosts of Christmas

Stood beneath the mistletoe
My baby was about to leave
Wrapped up tight that fateful night
To guard against the freeze
That snowy Christmas eve
I led him to the door
And even after he was out of sight
I could hear his engine roar
The hours came
The hours went
He didn't reappear
And as the clock struck midnight
My heart was struck with fear
And then appeared some visitors
A-knocking at my door
3 wise men
Dressed in blue
With dreadful gifts to bear
The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end
They told their tale of sorrow
Of how he met his end
A frozen lake
With shattered ice
Beyond a hairpin bend
The dreadful that was bestowed
My one true love was drowned
And though they searched the lake for days
His body was never found
The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end
That was seven long years ago
But the memories never fade
At night I imagine I hear him calling me
From his icy grave
I visit the lake every Christmas eve
And I mourn for what I lost
And every year I find the words I Love You
Etched into the frost
The ghosts of Christmas
Are calling me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end
The ghosts of Christmas
Are haunting me again
When you left that Christmas eve
My life began to end

Can't Help But Wanting

What's so new
About this so-called new year?
Nothing ever changes
And I still don't find you here
All change
That's what we're always getting told
No new resolutions
Is my only new resolve
First foot forward they say
But I'm rooted in the past
And I know that next year
Will be no different to the last
What's so new what's so good?
To me it all just feels the same
So I can't help but wanting
All those old years back again
Move on
Try and live without regret
Only trouble is
I don't know how to do that yet
What's so new what's so good?
To me it all just feels the same
So I can't help but wanting
All those old years back again
No I can't help but wanting
All those old years back again

Springtime Sigh

As I walk through soft springtime rain
I ask will I see my baby again?
Mrs Rain she doesn't reply
She merely continues her soft springtime cry
As I stroll down sun-dappled streets
Nobody knows why he wanted to go
Mr Sun got nothing to say
So still I don't know why my love went away
As I stroll through moon dappled streets
Nobody knows why he wanted to leave
Mr Moon he don't say a word
So still I don't if my baby will return
As I drift through autumn's dead leaves
Their whispers don't tell where my baby could be
Mr Fall he don't seem to know
He don't seem to know where my baby did go
As I step into winter's embrace
Can't hardly remember my sweet baby's face
Mr Jack Frost say it's time to move on
When will I forget that my baby has gone?

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽
