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 Birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light of a distant choir
The peal of the bell
And the Christmas tree smell
And 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
I believe in Father Christmas
I looked to the sky, with excited eyes
I woke with a yawn, to the first light of dawn
And saw him 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 Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve
(..)
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 Birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light of a distant choir
The peal of the bell
And the Christmas tree smell
And eyes full of tinsel and fire
