CHRISTMAS DAY
(Dido Armstrong / Rollo Armstrong)
Dido - 2001
A young gentleman came riding past,
on a snow-blue winter's day
He asked to drink by our fire,
and I was pleased to let him stay.
He drank there quietly for a while,
and then he turned and said to me:
"Your eyes are green like summer grass,
Your lips are red ,like a fresh-cut rose.
Your hair is soft like an Irish stream,
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty."
And the last words I heard him say
were,"I shall return, for you, my love,>
