[00:20.42]Hope everybody's ringing on their own bell this fine morning
[00:26.34]Hope everyone's connected to that long distance phone
[00:31.90]Old man he's a mountain
[00:34.77]Old man he's an island
[00:37.71]Old man he's a-waking says
[00:40.05]"I'm going to call, call all my children home"
[00:44.77]
[00:55.28]Hope everybody's dancing to their own drum this fine morning
[01:01.29]The beat of distant Africa or a Polish factory town
[01:06.40]Old man he's calling for his supper
[01:10.24]Is calling for his whisky
[01:12.42]Calling for his sons and daughters, yeah
[01:15.15]Calling, calling all his children round
[01:19.84]
[01:42.15]Sharp ears are tuned in to the drones and chanters warming
[01:47.96]Mist blowing round some headland, somewhere in your memory
[01:53.90]Everyone is from somewhere
[01:56.87]Even if you've never been there
[01:59.65]So take a minute to remember the part of you
[02:03.00]That might be the old man calling me
[02:06.65]
[02:23.25]How many wars you fighting out there this winter's morning?
[02:29.07]Maybe there's always time for another christmas song
[02:34.78]Old man is asleep now
[02:37.74]Got appointments to keep now
[02:40.59]Dreaming of his sons and daughters, and proving
[02:45.35]Proving that the blood is strong
[02:50.34]
