Floating seagull, soaring high, Sliver wings against the sky, of Yellow and blue, I see you. Flight of owl, gliding low, Silent wings, white feathers glow, Catching my light, startling sight. Forest Glades upon the ground, Watch the sun without a sound. Standing there on friendly earth, I can sense the universe. Ancient moon who sees the sun, Lights the darkness, night's begun. You shine with the sun, your lights are one. Ghostly starlight, distant bright, Lights the secret of the night. Burning afar, there you are. Ancient trees all watch the sun, Climbing high, the day's begun. Morning breeze, singing leaves. Ancient trees all drink the sun, Growing tall, the day's begun. Morning breeze, singing leaves

When snow falls at night, There's a hush in the darkness The peace that you feel is the breath of the Earth. Catch the air cold and crisp, taste the flakes falling on your tongue, Your warmth beside me is more than I deserve, More than I deserve, Chorus Slow down take it easy, take your time there's no hurry Stop. Look around, enjoy what you have. Sometimes you have to let go, watch the world from your window Christmas is a good time to take a new path. To take a new path. The daft days are the days between Christmas and Hogmanay. Let's take a walk to look back and before. With the blue sky above and the white hills beneath our feet Our worries dissolve with the turn of the door. Coda Life's not a race, no winners or losers The planet's too small, there's nowhere to run Santa can't leave us presents for ever... Switch off your screens, step away from your car my friend, Put down your phone, pull the buds from your ears. How did we fall into digital slavery, Let's cast off our toys, raise a glass and sing cheers. . .

A bang, a shimmy, shakes our tiny space We’ve had a problem, Houston, no-one’s had to face Look out of the porthole at the Moon’s unblinking eye A billion hearts are praying We feel every word they’re saying We will refuse, Yes we will refuse We will refuse We will refuse this chance to die So near yet so far So near yet so far So near yet so far Back to Earth we are descending Touch not the moon my dreams are ending So near yet so far My fears condensing on the instruments The dials and switches, sing a sad lament Our minds together, our brains are sharpened knives Pencil paper slide rule flashing Numbers multiply dividing We calculate We calculate We calculate We calculate to save our lives Face pressed to the glass, The moon looks so beautiful. Hidden from Earth, We are alone We are alone with our thoughts. A slingshot ride back towards our roots I’m not to feel the dust beneath my boots We’re a falling star, set in the sky above There’ll be no lunar landing My family, I’m returning We’re coming home, Yes we’re coming home, I’m coming home I’m coming home to you my love So near yet so far So near yet so far So near yet so far Back to Earth we are descending Touch not the moon my dreams are ending So near yet so far So near yet so far So near yet so far So near yet so far Back to Earth we are descending Touch not the moon my dreams are ending So near yet so far
