Eight Thousand Hours

I think I forgot
what I look like
stare at the mirror
and I'm not there
merry xmas to myself
it's all that's left
run forever into
next year
over eight thousand hours
something must have gone wrong
kind of a radio you switch on
but it plays no songs
chatter breaks the silence
picture this scene
firecrackers dancing
ghosts hide in the tin
that is where I meet you
greet me with a grin
and then you tell me
it was all a dream
a dream in which you flee
the wintertide to last
and all you have is questions
it's me who wants to ask
how can you know
you don't see what I see
cutting through the cold
and close the door behind me
please tell me now
can all we have
be forgotten
somehow
a love not yet dead
a love not yet born
leaves me without words
the story left untold
how can you know
when you don't see what I see
cutting through the cold
shut the door behind me
how can you ever know
lost yourself in dark trees
bury my face in the snow
run forever into hiding.

Christmas Star

Distant stars
at home up in the heavens
wonder what they see
are they watching me
Christmas star
you spin your strands of silver
what a sight to see
are you there to guide me
star light
shine bright
see me through the dark night
light mine
pathway
guide me home for Christmas day
midnight stars
they sail the sky in silence
hearing all they see
are they hearing me
Christmas star
you watch the world so wisely
at my journey's end
will you be my true friend
star light
shine bright
see me through the dark night
light mine
half way
guide me home for Christmas day
Christmas starlight
see my on my way
light mine
pathway
guide me home
for Christmas day.

It's getting rough
with all the ballet stuff
so dance your way in
the place they drink gin
is it just me
but if you change the key
the music's the same
in the ears of ballerina
is it just me
or if the dancers are wary
it's the same in the eyes
of the sugarplum fairy
is it just me
but if you change the key
the music's the same
and you know
you know
you know.

A Winter's Tale
04:14
|

The nights are cold and dark
maybe I should close the door
and anyway the snow
has covered all your footsteps
and I can follow you no more
the fire still burns at night
my memories are warm and clear
but everybody knows
it's hard to be alone
at this time of year
it was only a winter's tale
just another winter's tale
and why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed
a love that could never be
though it meant a lot to you and me
on a worldwide scale
we're just another winter's tale
while I stand alone
a bell is ringing far away
I wonder if you hear
I wonder if you're listening
I wonder where you are today
good luck, I wish you well
for all that wishes may be worth
I hope that love and strength
are with you for the length
of your time on earth
it was only a winter's tale
just another winter's tale
and why should the world take notice
of one more love that's failed
a love that could never be
though it meant a lot to you and me
on a worldwide scale
we're just another winter's tale.

I don't know how to Christmas
I don't know what's a yule
the only thing I know for sure
is that I'm a fool
the truth is I love Christmas
but I turn it to cringefest
anyway
every year
I didn't start the fire
and I didn't start the ice
the Christmas decorations
they always look so nice
but even though I try not
I spoil it all in the end
so I sit down
and ask myself
why the cringe stole Christmas
why it's all on me
why the cringe stole Christmas
why it's all on me
why the cringe stole Christmas
why it's all on me
why it's always on me
it's Christmas Eve
but I'm not ready for it
I didn't buy the presents
cause I knew they would be shit
my family is waiting for me
down by the Christmas tree
I know there's no way
I can sit this one out
so I enter the house
and I greet everyone loud
I knocked over the tree
and somehow it caught fire
now all I can hear
is a children's choir
how the cringe stole Christmas
how it's all on him
how the cringe stole Christmas
how it's all on him
how the cringe stole Christmas
how it's all on him
it is always on him
hey, it's Christmas
and I screwed it up again
I should've stayed at home
watching Home Alone
alone
in isolation
trying not to ruin that day for anyone else
but then I hear that 'ho ho ho'
outside my door
and I feel the spirit of the season
I crack and return to my parents’ house
and there it comes again
like every year before
is it a thief outside my door?
now the cringe stole Christmas
now it's all on me
now the cringe stole Christmas
now it's all on me
now the cringe stole Christmas
and it's all on me
it is always on me.
