Lyrics:
It’s not gonna snow
Just because it’s Christmas
No people on the go
These silent nights they never feel quite right
The lights I’ve strung about
Barely light the hallway
Some nights I try to shout
A Christmas tune to fill this empty room
Singing songs of jolly Nick
It’s just a trick
I gather round the love I've found
To make it stick
Where will all the people go
On Christmas Day?
I light my fireplace aglow
To fight the gray
What's there to hold to help fight the cold
Of each new day?
But perhaps I’ll find a way
I wrapped the gifts I bought
Just because it's Christmas
It feels like all I've got
Is tokens of a near-forgotten love
Every screen, each new routine
Fails to get me though this,
And every smile feels like denial
That this is Christmas
What will all the people do
On Christmas Day?
Tell me how we muddle through
Despite the gray
I’m singing songs, no one sings along
Why do I play?
Look inside to find a way
Will this be the melody that makes me feel you near?
I'll strike a chord I've not explored before we disappear
So
I'll write all through the night
I'll fight each silent night
