Merry Christmas, Mr Moffatt

from The Complexity Of Things by Michael Ellis

lyrics

i think it was just about two years ago
we had come to a place i guess parts of it we owe
to a programme on the tele we had seen both her and me
as we drove into the town down to the harbour by the sea

high on the upper deck we sat as we enjoyed the light
overlooking the whole bay all the boats were lying on their side
next to me there was a painting on the wall i cast a glance
looking pretty well familiar and enchanting both at once

merry christmas mr moffatt
thanks again for the stormy sky
merry christmas, hope you'll have it
maybe next year we'll come by

then at home just before christmas i had one of these ideas
when i was writing the email it seemed stupid and unclear
well of course was the response and as a package it was sent
i think she even cried and i was happy too cause i had made a friend

now it's hanging on the wall filling the room with grey and blue
i better start saving cause i want to have one too
