lyrics
They come once a year.
From the Magnetic North they come, each at the end of the long cold night of far travel and many stops, to meet in the between-space where the dimensions melt together. Some come from little log cabins, where their old wives sit and wait in creaky rockers next to warm hearths. Others come from brightly lit mountain mansions, adorned majestically in holly and ivy. Still more come from mountain caves, igloos built in great snowy valleys or alongside huge cracking glaciers or from the dark depths of the icy sea, and big bustling toy factories manned by tiny men and women in green with thick towers of smoke puffing warmth into the frosty blue sky. From many worlds they come.
And though they may be different sizes, shapes, species, even states of matter, each and every one of them share the same twinkle of eye, the same blush of blood tinging their cheeks, and, most of all, the same booming laughter.
They come from the Magnetic North, each at the end of the long cold night. They meet in the between-space, and, merrily, they rejoice.
