They said there'll be snow at Christmas |
|
They said there'll be peace on earth |
|
Instead it just kept on raining |
|
With 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 |
|
Their eyes full of tinsel and fire |
|
They sold me a dream of Christmas |
|
They sold me a silent night |
|
They told me a fairy story |
|
Till I believed in the Israelite |
|
And I believed in Father Christmas |
|
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 and 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 you get you deserve |
