A Spaceman Came Travelling Lyrics by Kate Rusby

Light Years

2023

[Verse 1]
A spaceman came travelling 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
The stranger spoke and he said, "Do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a mеssage for mankind to hear"
And suddenly thе sweetest music it filled the air
[Chorus]
And it went
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
[Verse 4]
This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
And travellers on the road that village they found
By the light of that ship in the sky which shone all around
[Verse 5]
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"
[Chorus]
And it went
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la
This 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
This song will begin once again
