LYRICS:
When I dream of you
and I always do
you’ve just rushed in
in a gust of wind
and it’s Christmas eve
and you’ve come for me

And your face is flushed
I smell the winter sky
your hair is like a nest
your eyes are like a light
and you’re singing out
how I love the sound

My name is like a bell
my heart is like a hound
and I need you then
and I need you now

No it’s not just today
it’s years away
see us gaining weight
see the weather change again
but still you bring the sky
and the hallway light

You’re the wind, you’re the one
that I want to arrive
and I need you now
I need you all the time
whether Christmas eve
or in the heat of July
but when I dream of you
and I always do
it’s tonight

What a beautiful concert, so lucky to have been there

Magnificent choice to film a black and white one-shot and slowly zoom in - it seems to pull the performance out of time.

Can't think of anyone better to do a Christmas album tbh, almost every November-December since 2011 I've been at a Tim/Hey Rosetta! show, it's one of my favourite yearly traditions now (well... the 2017 ones were more sad than festive, but still lol) <3

I was at this show! (Probably? I think you did two nights - I was at one of them.) See you back in Hali in December!
