Dickens in the Snow

Featuring Jan Nieuwenhuis on Bass-guitar

 

Merry Christmas!!!

 

Frost on the window makes pretty flowers

In a dream i was called by this big bright star

On a snow-covered hill a snowman’s waiting

He takes off his wide-brimmed hat to wave at me 

 

My old snow-scene painting comes to life

A sleigh comes out with graceful dancing horses

A little Robin on the prow is pointing the direction

Through the half-lit streets of London town

 

I still dream away at Christmas time

In a fairytale way  i picture the world

Dickens in the snow Elves on the north pole

Gingerbread Chocolate and Chestnuts

People in the street singing Christmas Carols 

Guided by old Horns and Bells

 

When the sun shows up and the wind lies down

In my dream we watch magical Christmas windows

And we sing under the tree at Covent Garden

Before the late afternoon routine in the Leaky Cauldron

 

Skies turn back to grey snow is gonna fall

With a Hot-Buttered Rum in the Ferris wheel

Neon-sign reflections down in the river create

The shape of an owl in a patchwork long-coat

 

I still dream away at Christmas time

In a fairytale way  i picture the world

Dickens in the snow Elves on the north pole

Gingerbread Eggnog and Chestnuts

People in the street singing Christmas Carols 

Guided by old Horns and Bells

 

Yeah! Dickens in the snow Elves on the north pole

Gingerbread Chocolate and Chestnuts

People in the street singing Christmas Carols 

Guided by old Horns and Bells

  Dickens in the snow Elves on the north pole

  Gingerbread Whisky and  Chestnuts

  People in the street singing Christmas Carols 

  Guided by old Horns and Bells
