A Spaceman Came Travelling Songtext
von Kate Rusby

A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar
It was 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 a mother and child, lying there on a bed
And a bright light of silver, it shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel and they were afraid

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, it filled the air


And it went la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Peace and goodwill to all men and love for a child

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were awakened on hearing that sound
And travelers on the road, that village they 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 appeared 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"

And it went la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la
The song will begin once again

And it went la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la
The song will begin once again
