Spaceman Lyrics by Chris De Burgh

Spaceman

"A Spaceman came traveling on a ship from a far"
" 'Twas light-years of time since his mission did start"
"And over a village he halted his craft"
"And he hung in the sky like a star, Just like a star"

"And he followed a light and came down to a shed"
"Where a mother and child where lying there on a bed"
"A bright light of sliver shone round his head"
"And he had the face on an Angel, And they where afraid"

"Then the stranger spoke and he said do not fear"
"I come from a planet a long way from here"
"And I bring a message for mankind to hear"
"and suddenly the sweetest music filled the air"

Chorus:
"and it went Lalalalalalalala, lalalalalalala,
lalalalalala"

"peace goodwill to all men and love for a child"

"This Lovely music, went trembling through the ground",
"and many were wakened, on hearng that sound",
"and travellers on the road, the village they found",
"by the light of that ship in the sky, it shone all around",

"and just before dawn at the paling of the sky "
"the stranger returned and said now i must fly"
"when two thousand years of your time has gone by"
"this song will begin once again, to a baby's cry"

Repeat chorus

"This is goodwill to all men, and love for a child"
"OH the whole world is waiting"

Repeat chorus to end
"They never hear the song again"
"Their a thousand standing on the edge of the world"
"And a star has woken somewhere, and time is nearly here"
