lyrics

Over frosted fields I roam
Where the tawny owl and blackbird (have) flown
Going home

Over quayside path in snow
Marshland breezes through my tee shirt blows
Going home

Watch the sailing boats at sea
Where the seal pups born on Christmas Day
They’re not alone

Shooting stars across the sky
December’s magic feeling fills my eyes
I’m not alone

When the turtle doves have gone
Still the march hares play in winter’s sun
Coming home

Churches candles all aglow
Christmas memories I can’t let go
Coming home
