All the ice and snow falling,
reflecting the glow of
red and green lights.
Mistletoe and carols,
silver and gold,
all that the masses behold.
Where is my Christmas?
When does it start?
A thousand burning yule logs can’t
warm winter hearts.
Shoppers and churchgoers
passing me by.
And all I
can wonder is
why?
Why is it not like before?
Families and lovers,
the afterglow of parties,
a gathering of bands.
In jovial splendor,
in silent repose,
enters a whisper of cold.
Where is my Christmas?
When does it start?
A thousand burning yule logs can’t
warm winter hearts.
Shoppers and churchgoers
passing me by.
And all I
can wonder is
Why?
Why is it not like before?
Why is it not like before?
Just another chapter in mankind’s folklore.
I know, I know,
it’s not like before.
But the voices in my head
can’t take it anymore.
Anymore…
All that’s left is unfeeling.
No dawning song can
thaw my winter heart.
Leave me to the bitter winds
to drift away, drift away
with the virgin snow.
