All That I Want

Wow, it's been so long since I last posted I almost forgot my password! We had a variety of illnesses rip through the house and put me behind in about every area of my life, blog included.


I don't know how to post an actual video clip from youtube, but here is a link to hear my latest favorite Christmas song - All That I Want by the Weepies. Any song that mentions a harbor, pine trees, and the moon all together is wonderful in my book!

Out in the harbor
The ships come in, it's Christmastime
The kids all holler
carols 'cross the water
Stars that shine

All that I want,
all that I want
Above the rooftops
The full moon dips its golden spoon
I wait on clip-clops,
deer might fly
Why not? I met you

All that I want,
all that I want

And when the night is falling
Down the sky at midnight
Another year is stalling
Far away a good bye, good night

All that I want,
all that I want all

So small a turning
The world grows older every day
An ache, a yearning
Soften when I hear you say

All that I want,
all that I want
And when the cold wind's blowing
Snow drifts through the pine trees
In houses lights are glowing
Likewise in your eyes that find me here
With all that I want,all that i want

Out in the harbor
The ships come in, it's Christmastime

I have never heard of the weepies, loved the song, loved them. Just Amazon'd myself a cd from them (although it didn't have the Christmas song on it. Is there an album with that on it?)
Thanks for the great find and welcome back to blogland :)

I love that song (and have it in my iTunes - I bought it just a year ago)! And that band. I must buy more of their work. Thanks, Alison.
