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's birth |
|
I remember one Christmas morning |
|
A winters 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 |
|
'Till I believed in the Israelite |
|
And I believed in Father Christmas |
|
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes |
|
'Till 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'll be snow at Christmas |
|
They said there'll be peace on Earth |
|
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell |
|
The Christmas we get we deserve. |
|
La la la la la la la la la la.... |
