Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

If You Are Listening is my first attempt at writing a Christmas song - download a free mp3 by clicking the Download button above.

This live track is from a video camcorder taken at my Johnny Cash Roadshow's Christmas Show at the Artrix Theatre, Bromsgrove, on 20th December 2008 and was the first public performance of the song.

Performing with me are the fantastic Rosie Lee, Nick Davis, Josh Balen, and Pete Stone.

LYRICS

Well I know that its Christmas and I know that I miss you
I cant get in the spirit
There's an old photograph that I just cant get rid of
Its cold and lonely this Christmas

They say time is a healer, yet I am a griever
I cant get rid of these feelings
So to all that we had and to all that we lost
Raise a glass and toast us this evening

Santa Claus bring back my baby to me
And if you are listening Im sure youll agree
You could put me out of my misery
If Santa Claus you bring back my baby to me

There's a big open fire and a cosy old rug
And I hear a choir in the distance
Sweet voices flow through the Christmas night air
Yet none of this makes any difference

(Chorus)

This time of year is a killer
When you're tryin' to get by on your own
When there's family and laughter and joy ever after
It hurts when you're alone

They say time is a healer, yet I am a griever
I cant get rid of these feelings
So to all that we had and to all that we lost
Raise a glass and toast us this evening
