    I’m 77yrs old and had never heard the best christmas song of all time. It’s sooo refreshing after all the same old, same old stuff . Robbie and the boys did it again.

    I am a big fan of The Band. I must have seen them 300 times on stage. One Christmas, they gave a free concert in a park in St. Louis, I was there, this song makes me get all teary when I hear it. Christmas is all about that little baby, swaddled in a manger.

    RIP Robbie. Robbie left us with a lot of great songs. Not many know about this one...a song about the real reason for this holiday...one of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever recorded.

    The most beautiful band I have ever been fortunate enough to listen to. Could run through an individual roster of their unique talents but what made them so special, was the way those 5 gifted young men merged musically, like 5 parts of one whole to make a sound that was so absolutely...together. ❤

    Lyrics~
    Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
    Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
    The wheels start turning, torches start burning
    And behold, wise men journey from the east
    How a little Baby Boy bring the people so much joy
    Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
    This must be Christmas, must be tonight
    A shepherd on the hillside, where over my flock I abide
    On a cold winter night, a band of Angels sing
    In a dream, I heard a voice say, "Fear not, come rejoice
    It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born King"
    How a little Baby Boy bring the people so much joy
    Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
    This must be Christmas, must be tonight
    Saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
    But why a simple herdsmen such as I?
    And then it came to pass, he was born at last
    Right below the star that shines on high
    How a little Baby Boy bring the people so much joy
    Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
    This must be Christmas, must be tonight
    Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
    This must be Christmas, must be tonight
    Be tonight, be tonight
    Be tonight, be tonight
    Be tonight, be tonight
    Be tonight

    Erin’s Kiss - for Shawn Colvin and Angel of Ireland Van Morrison with love and eternal fidelity to Blessed Eternal Ireland
    Posted in Uncategorized on June 30, 2010 by blackshepherd
    Erin’s Kiss - For Goddess of Ireland Caledonia (Jean-Marie) Erwin Shepherd Colvin
    For - Great 1st Angel of Christ and Shawn Colvin Archangel Robbie Robertson
    We worship and adore you forever dear Robbie. You have enlightened and delighted us with your brilliant songs for so long.
    We would not be here now without the guidance and inspiration of your cosmic mystical magical songs. Kisses
    Quantum kisses we float to you from the depths of 'Our' sacred bleeding aching ancient soul within which you forever
    are welcome. Kisses
    Shawn Callie Arthur
    I kissed Erin last night
    you know
    the Goddess of Ireland
    blessings she did bestow
    I know it’s hard to believe
    I kissed her full on the lips three times
    and I did receive
    a fourth for good luck
    for infinite rhymes
    courage and pluck
    she led me to the place
    with whispers through the ether
    for to endow me with a garland of grace
    being destined to love her
    and to know well her face
    all I did was to inter
    the trash left around her shrine
    in America
    she could not alone be mine
    she made it clear
    but she would make my words shine
    many soldiers and poets have her ear
    Lyre the angel was to her left
    his foot was extended
    for those of faith and hope not bereft
    and so he lifted me above the dead
    on her right was a soldier keeping watch
    the angel let me kneel on his knee
    while I reached across
    all rein was set free
    with the sign of the cross
    and a kiss from her lips
    during the second kiss
    she granted eternal cosmic trips
    to know my twin soul and infinite bliss
    she said I’d be an Irish rover
    sacred love came with a third kiss
    then I kissed her all over
    she promised me a ring
    the fourth was for good fortunes
    endless words
    protection and tunes
    to shatter the proudest swords
    she asked me to wait
    while she got undressed
    Erin adjusted my fate
    granting me in the sight of the blessed
    soon with a date
    my soul was caressed
    she said she’d meet me in the flesh soon
    she makes love to patriots soldiers and poets
    always under a full moon
    I’d be marked and my lover would know it
    she would appear as an angel
    known as Shawn (Colvin)
    whose duty would be to tell
    where to wait for the new dawn
    this angel would sing me into a trance
    and when I awoke she would ask me to dance
    safe in heaven no more to roam
    my immortal beloved
    with silver tears she would welcome me home
    end
    With love for Chapin and Shawn. Peace
    Special thanks and eternal love to Paul McCartney for loving us all so well. Peace
