Silent Night (Live At the Marquee Club, London) - Tom Paxton[00:00:00]

I was sleeping when they came[00:00:09]

The warning was the same[00:00:12]

They've crossed the border[00:00:13]

Grandpa's dignity intact[00:00:16]

Never once did he look back[00:00:19]

We moved in order[00:00:20]

Down the steps the lamps were lit[00:00:23]

We found space where we could sit[00:00:26]

There was no talking[00:00:28]

We heard bombs begin to fall[00:00:30]

We could heel the trembling wall[00:00:33]

Like God was walking[00:00:35]

The night was calm[00:00:38]

The stars were bright[00:00:41]

It was a calm[00:00:44]

And peaceful night[00:00:46]

Little bits of ceiling fell[00:00:51]

And I thought if this is Hell[00:00:54]

Then where's the fire[00:00:56]

Grandpa held me in his lap[00:00:59]

Till I heard s sudden snap[00:01:01]

Like a breaking wire[00:01:03]

Then I heard a giant roar[00:01:06]

And I felt the shelter floor[00:01:09]

Come up to meet me[00:01:11]

I struggled with my fright[00:01:14]

There was something in the night[00:01:16]

That meant to eat me[00:01:18]

The night was calm[00:01:21]

The stars were bright[00:01:24]

It was a calm[00:01:27]

And peaceful night[00:01:29]

When I found myself again[00:01:34]

I could hear the sounds of men[00:01:37]

Soft words were spoken[00:01:39]

I was lying on the ground[00:01:42]

Trying to move myself around[00:01:44]

Something was broken[00:01:46]

When I finally raised my head[00:01:49]

I could see that all were dead[00:01:52]

Not dead dying[00:01:54]

There were strangers all about[00:01:56]

Trying to dig the shelter out[00:01:59]

And some were crying[00:02:01]

The night was calm[00:02:04]

The stars were bright[00:02:07]

It was a calm[00:02:10]

And peaceful night[00:02:12]

On the southern edge of town[00:02:18]

I could hear it coming down[00:02:20]

The earth was quaking[00:02:22]

When I knew that I would live[00:02:25]

I thought what are we to give[00:02:27]

For what we're taking[00:02:29]

I saw flashes in the sky[00:02:32]

I saw something up there die[00:02:35]

All red and leaping[00:02:37]

Grandpa lay beside me there[00:02:39]

And I straightened out his hair[00:02:42]

He seemed to be sleeping[00:02:44]

Of the diggers there was one[00:02:47]

Found the body of his son[00:02:50]

And held it to him[00:02:52]

Grandpa lay upon his back[00:02:54]

With his dignity intact[00:02:57]

I hardly knew him[00:02:59]

The night was calm[00:03:02]

The stars were bright[00:03:05]

It was a calm[00:03:08]

And peaceful night[00:03:10]

The night was calm[00:03:13]

The stars were bright[00:03:15]

It was a calm[00:03:18]

And peaceful night[00:03:20]
