> Lyrics to Girl:
>
> I thought your eyes, blue
> "Oh no, they're green," she said to me
> We danced in time or didn't you know
> This dance was time
>
> At the party of astrologers
> The Christmas tide was due
> On the way to Alberdan
> The dance, the dream and you
> Actuals and counterclaims
> Dancing all the time
> Dancing in the corridor
> And the dance was time
>
> At the height of Christmas tide
> She found a ghost inside
> Give it up or let it ride
> She must decide
>
> Actuals and counterclaims
> Drugged, reborn, resigned
> The castle stands, the girl remains
> And if she'll spin
> It's packed with eyes
> Out there in the corridor
> Caught there in the mirror maze
> From her last and loving glance
> A waltz, a dance, whose time
> Not here but gone was time
>
> So put me to the question
> But there's no return from this castle of mine
> For the powers that be
> The girl and her dreams
> The girl that love made blind
>
> And that's the last dream
> We had upon that night
> The party of astrologers
> The Christmas of my life
>
> Christmas, Christmas, the Christmas of my life
>

Steve,
Thanks for posting the lyrics.  I hate to completely expose my
ignorance, but who wrote the lyrics, Al or SP?  Whoever the author,
they're great lyrics...
