They said there'll be snow at Christmas |
|
They said there'll be peace on Earth |
|
But instead, it just kept on raining |
|
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth |
|
I remember one Christmas morning |
|
A winter's light and a distant choir |
|
And the peal of a bell |
|
And that Christmas tree smell |
|
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire |
|
They sold me a dream of Christmas |
|
They sold me a Silent Night |
|
And they told me a fairy story |
|
Til I believed in the Israelite |
|
And I believed in Father Christmas |
|
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes |
|
Then I woke with a yawn |
|
In the first light of dawn |
|
And I saw him and through his disguise |
|
I wish you a hopeful Christmas |
|
I wish you a brave New Year |
|
All anguish pain and sadness |
|
Leave your heart and let your road be clear |
|
They said there'd be snow at Christmas |
|
They said there'll be peace on Earth |
|
Hallelujah, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell |
|
The Christmas we get, you deserve |
