Christmas

Silent night, deep in snow,
lights ablaze in every home.
I sit, weary, silent too,
while I cry alone.

Hark the herald angles sing.
Shepherds come from miles around.
Not one soul has talked to me,
since I came to town

Joyous world, peace to men,
the message mouthed by all.
Tomorrow start your wars again,
tonight the angels call.

Christmas can bring love and joy
Smiling girls and laughing boys
and dinner 'round the tree at home.
But, Christmas can bring tears and pain,
with family you won't see again,
and Christmas dinner's a silent drink, alone.

This the season to be jolly,
I hear it sung all over town.
Yes, this season, oh, so jolly,
Why does it bring me down?

Christmas can bring love and joy
Smiling girls and laughing boys
and dinner 'round the tree at home.
But, Christmas can bring tears and pain,
with family you won't see again,
and Christmas dinner's a silent drink, alone.
