Chris de Burgh A Spaceman Game Travelling song lyrics

A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar

twas light years of time since his mission did start

And over a village he halted his craft

and it hung in the sky like a star

Just like a star

He followed a light and came down to a shed

where mother and child were there lying on a bed

A bright light of silver shone round his head

and he had the face of an angel

And they were afraid

When the stranger spoke, he said, Do not fear!

I come from a planet a long way from here,

and I have a message for mankind to hear

Suddenly the sweetest music filled the air

And it went, la, la, la ...

Peace and good will to all men,

and love for the child

La, la, la ...

This lovely music went trembling through the ground

And many were wakened on hearing the sound

and travellers on the road the village the found

by the light of that ship in the sky

which 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!
