A Spaceman Came Travelling (Live)

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 the light and came down to a shed
Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed
A bright light of silver shone round his head
And he had the face of an angel
And they were afraid

And the stranger spoke
He said, "Do not fear
I came from a planet a long way from here
And I bring a message for mankind to hear"
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air
And it went

Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child

This lovely music went trembling through the ground
And many were wakened on hearing that sound
And travellers on the road, the village they found
By the light of that ship in the sky
That shone all round

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
And it went

Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child

Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child

Peace and goodwill to all men
And love for the child
Yeah, let me hear this song again
