lyrics

There are angels on the borders
Distant bells they peal and chime
It’s Christmas Day in Sydney town
On my own for the first time
And in the north the sky turns grey
There’s a promise of some rain
There’s a promise of some peace on earth
Peace on earth again

And we’re waking from our sleep
And we’re uncovering the cheer
The sun’s over the yardarm
Let’s go reaching for that first beer
There’s something there familiar
Something like waiting for a train
Waiting for some peace on earth
Peace on earth again

And I saw you when you reached so high
I was there when you would fall
All the blessings, all the castaways
All the fault lines, the applause
It’s Christmas Day in Sydney Town
On this day I feel it all
On this day I see it all

There’s a message comes from the Philippines
From Dublin and Dubai
Lots of love sent up from Melbourne
From Uluru as the crow flies
The wires are full of memories, passed along a chain
Passed along with peace on earth
Peace on earth again

And I saw you when you reached so high
I was there when you would fall
All the blessings, all the castaways
All the fault lines, the applause
It’s Christmas Day in Sydney Town
On this day I feel it all
On this day I see it all

In the twilight
Did you walk in circles
‘Til you faded from sight?
And the storm falls like a mystery
And soaks the common ground
On decorated houses, in this decorated town
Above the tar, the song flies far
And settles in the lanes
Settles with some peace on earth
Peace on earth again

And I saw you when you reached so high
I was there when you would fall
All the blessings, all the castaways
All the fault lines, the applause
It’s Christmas Day in Sydney Town
On this day I feel it all
On this day I see it all
