about
New original Xmas themed song. Bittersweet acoustic ballad about saying goodbye. "so sweet and really lovely" Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
lyrics
It’s St Benedicts Christmas Fair
And everyone is gathered here
What’s on my mind they’ll never know
What I feel I cannot show
And as for me I’m standing here
Singing my songs of Christmas cheer
Why it hurts they’ll never know
Just why it is I have to go
Have to go
Always afraid this time of year
The future is laid out so unclear
No goodbyes, no warm embrace
Just the sadness on your face
And as for me I’m standing here
Singing my songs of Christmas cheer
Why it hurts they’ll never know
Just why it is I have to go
Have to go
And everyone is gathered here
What’s on my mind they’ll never know
What I feel I cannot show
And as for me I’m standing here
Singing my songs of Christmas cheer
Why it hurts they’ll never know
Just why it is I have to go
Have to go
Always afraid this time of year
The future is laid out so unclear
No goodbyes, no warm embrace
Just the sadness on your face
And as for me I’m standing here
Singing my songs of Christmas cheer
Why it hurts they’ll never know
Just why it is I have to go
Have to go

-
Rosie Thomas is a wonderful female singer/songwriter. Her music is so moving and With Love is another gorgeous heartfelt album. She is a big inspiration to me as I also write songs from the heart.

The Ones Who Wait
by Denison WitmerI saw Denison a few years back playing with, and supporting Rosie Thomas and he is an incredible songwriter. Definitely evokes melodic warmth as the description says and deserves to be a bigger name.
