The Winter Journey

Intro

Harp glissando

Verse

The velvet night it calls my name

As candle burns a golden flame

The snow falls down on window pane

To wash away the year again.

The children sleep, the fire is low

We watch the shadows come and go A glass of port, a mince pie sweet

The winter journey is

complete.

Chorus

Sail away, on Christmas Eve

Believe in what the stars weave

A silent prayer, a silver light

To guide us through the frozen night.

O tempus fugit, the bells ring clear

Peace and love are resting here.

Interlude

Ah-ah-ah-ah... do-do-do-do...

Verse

But in the deep, a current turns

The gravy cold, the stomach churns.

The goose I ate, so rich and wide

Is rising like an ocean tide.

The room begins a gentle spin

I feel the demons dance within

The baileys cream, the heavy bread

Are rushing upwards to my head.

Chorus

Heave away, on Christmas Day

The porcelain throne is where I lay.

A sudden gag, a violent sound

My dinner splashes on the ground.

O regurgitate, the flow is pure

There is no peace, there is no cure.

Bridge

Vomitus... (Vomitus)

Maximus... (Maximus)

The carrots... (I see the carrots)

Return to me... (Return to me)

Ad Nauseam...

Excretum...

Verse

I hug the bowl, the basin white

No silent stars for me tonight.

The turkey waves a last goodbye

Beneath the bathroom’s azure sky.

I flush the past, I wipe the tear

And pray for health another year.

Outro

(Bleugh... ah-ah... bleugh...)

(Sail away...)

(Flush away...)

Interlude

Fade Out

End
