When you were young d'you ever look
upon a globe of snow
A perfect world, a christmas scene
Inside you'd like to go
A simple shake would bring to life
A flawless winter sight
A pure escape from daily strife
the snow comes down so white
Well, in our globe a special group of people play and sing
They're twitch musicians one and all, come hear them do their thing
Christmas Christmas Colab aaaa majiiiig
Collabamajig
matched by chance to make a tune
a brand new seasoned song
Time ever ticking by so fast
They worked hard and worked long..
The world below them hushed and quiet
they gather on the hill,
Their melodies embrace the town,
give warmth where once was chill
The songs play bright, enjoyed by all, with festive Christmas cheer
But better yet all proceeds go to Médecins Sans Frontières
Christmas Christmas Colab aaaa majiiiig
Collabamajig

Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Ugly sweater parties with folks you hardly know
Kids singing Silent Night
Right next to the pretzels at the shopping mall
On a random Tuesday night
Used to be so magical
Used to be so fun
But year after year without you here
I’m just trying to get to December 31
Red, green, silver and gold,
Sweet smelling pine, fruit cake and wine
sleigh-bells and sleds in the snow
Stockings hung by the fire
It’s beginning to look a lot like that season again
No matter how hard I try
It used to be so magical
It used to be so fun
But year after year without you here
I’m just trying to get to December 31
Every winter, a stark reminder
Of how good it used to be
Friends try to help by inviting me out
But I don’t think they really see that
I don’t need gifts
or a mistletoe kiss
It’s nothing that they want to hear... but
All I want for Christmas is an end to the most
wonderful time of the year
Darkness falls much faster now
The stores are all closed, friends have gone home
Nobody else is around
Look at the lights all aglow
That holiday jingle was always your favorite,
Follows wherever I go
It used to be so magical
It used to be so fun
But year after year without you here
I’m just trying to get through December 31
I’m just trying to get through December 31

I used to love this time of year
All the laughter and chatting around
But the years went by and soon you weren't here
And now this room makes no sound
I close my eyes and I can see you there
In the lights on and the rocking chair
When I breathe in I can still smell the scent
Of every year together that we spent
I want this Christmas to be
More than just me...
Cause I can't have this Christmas without you
Can't believe that it's been so long
The Christmas bells ring out of tune
Is this the year where I right this wrongs
To bring you back for Christmas soon?
If you were I'm sure it would be the same
As it was before we went our own ways
And if I could, I would go back
And tell myself to cherish those days
This has to be the year I see you again
Can't you just imagine the joy it'll bring?
I'll save a spot for you next to the Christmas tree
I'll see you there
I'll see you there this Christmas...
I know I might be asking too much
But maybe there's a chance, you see
That the festivities began as such
With my loving family
I want this Christmas to be
More than just me...
Cause I can't have this Christmas without you
I want this Christmas to be
More than just me...
Cause I can't have this Christmas without you
I want this Christmas to be
You.....and.....me......
Cause I can't have this Christmas without you

Grew up raisin’ Christmas Trees
my dad, my brother and me.
In the end we’d cut ‘em all down,
And sell ‘em for a little fee
You think it’s so charmin’ Christmas Tree farmin’
It didn’t seem that way to me
I was a Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’
All I wanted was to cop some ‘Z’s.
White Pines, Red Pines, mainly Scotch Pines
Spruces: White, mainly Blue
& Firs: Douglas, Frasers, Balsams, Concolors
In rows so straight and true
In summer we’d swing our machetes
in the hot June and July sun
Hackin’ all the new growth back
A haircut for every one.
It ain’t all that charmin’ that Christmas Tree farmin’
At least It wern’t that way for me
I was Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’
I’d rather a boat on the sea
Come fall we’d walk amongst the trees
Take a look at every one.
The best got a stapled tag on his branch
that said he’d get cut down.
And then we ran that baler,
& wrapped em up real tight
And loaded ‘em up on big old trucks
Until we could call it a night
You might think it’s charmin’ to be Christmas Tree farmin’
Didn’t seem that way to me
I was Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’
All down to my nobby knees.
We’d follow our own semi,
haulin’ trees down south
four guys in a twenty foot trailer,
living hand to mouth
We’d sell those trees til Christmas Eve &
finally our work was done
Drive three hundred miles back north
on our Christmas midnight run.
You might think it’s charmin’ to be Christmas Tree farmin’
It didn’t work that way for me
I was a Sweatin’ & Bakin’ or Freezin’ & Shakin’
But finally we got some sleep
The house shines bright with a glow in your eyes,
as the tree lights up so fine,
It's enough to make me forget my work,
and enjoy this Christmas time

let’s bring it back, christmas in the 80s
all i want is underneath the tree
i hope it’s a light bright, maybe a light saber
i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later
the night was cold, i walked home from school all alone
the snow fell, i thought about my friends, they were talking up all the
things they got, GI Joe and Barbie
and a rubik’s cube. Could that be true?
christmas in the 80s
all i want is underneath the tree
i hope it’s a light bright, or maybe a light saber
i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later
the holidays can make us feel alone
and the good times, sometimes, feel so unknown
and all we’ve got are these memories, deep inside
feeling like they’re trapped in 1985
christmas in the 80s
all i want is underneath the tree
i hope it’s a light bright, or maybe a light saber
i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later
Light saber
spirograph
lava lamp
casio
slinkey
battleship
speak and spell
christmas in the 80s
all i want is underneath the tree
i hope it’s a light bright, or maybe a light saber
i hope it’s a speak and spell - i can learn to spell later

I guess that makes a year
It passed so quickly
Wonder was I really there
Or was I sleep walking
I haven't seen you since
We went our separate ways
If time can heal all wounds
Then maybe pain is just a phase
This winter air is killing me
it chills me to the bone
I have a drawer filled with your things
and I still can't let them go
I guess that makes a year
Since I’d last seen your face
I’d like to say the pain is gone
And on to the next phase
I hate playing cold
But crying’s getting old
I sometimes ask myself “if only…”
I feel lonely…
This winter air is killing me
it chills me to the bone
I have a drawer filled with your things
and I still can't let them go
swirling shapes of ice and stone
I'm lost out in this storm
If help should come to save me now
It'd still be you that keeps me warm
The headlights spark and swallow me
I'm the unsuspecting deer
I'm overwhelmed by circumstance
realize my deepest fear
as the tires squeal to save my skin
i stand there in a daze
Am I being punished for my sins
or is this some form of grace
Well I heard some people say
That nothing gold can stay
But you'll never quite be gone
Once I write you in this song
I'll never say another word
a lie could not be more absurd
I'll move along as you suggest
and sew my heart back in my chest
connect the veins where they belong
pump the blood and eat this song
something sad and bitter sweet
getting stuck between my teeth
Why do I feel so lonely
(When I'm not sorry)
so pour my heart on frozen ground
The snow will melt away
reveal the grass there beneath my feet
Let's me know I'll be okay

Dear Santa I am writing sincerely to you,
I hope this gets delivered before the year is new,
I’m not saying I’ve been perfect but I don’t know what to do….
Cause naughty kids deser-ve Christmas, too!
I’ve pranked my sister, my brother, Aunt Edma and Aunt Lou,
I’ve snuck into the nextdoor attic
To scare the neighbors, too
I try to be good but what else can I do?
Cause naughty kids deserve christmas too!
I’d like to have a say in what the government will do,
I want a full sized roller coaster,
Who am I kidding? Make it two!
I try to be so heccin’ good but what else can i do
Cause naughty kids deserve christmas too
I throttled this dumb kid,
Cause he wouldn’t leave me alone,
Could one of this year’s presents
Be the next iphone?
As the season nears, I’ve thought “What would Santa do?”
But then I realized, you would beat him up, too!
I’ve done this–
I’ve done that—
Yes, I’ve even done the worst of things, don’t you even dare to ask!
I saw the TikTok of your fight,
And I totally can relate,
That Andy had it coming,
That kid spews nicknames that I hate,
I recall when I was your age,
Before I donned the red,
Danny Lucco called me a fatty….
So I punched him the head
You punched him in the head?!
So I punched him in the head
So remember every Christmas when the silver bells all chime,
Standing up to that one bully, isn’t quite a crime
After all the year’s transgressions, and all the sins accrew
Naughty Kids Need Christmas
Naughty Kids Need Christmas
Naughty Kids Need Christmas
Naughty Kids Need a Christmas, too

Feels like summer’s barely gone
The way the seasons can fool you
My eyes are tired and my hands are numb
And I've got a hundred things to do
I pull onto the street and look at the lights
Spilling red and gold on the ground
I take in a breath of cold dark night
And I know that winter’s come around
I push the door and I’m home
The fire burns low
And we’ve got no place else we have to go
The wind coming down
The streets of this town
Brings in the smell of snow and I know
That everything changes and maybe one year
The snow won’t fall no more
But right now I’m safe here
All the busyness falls away
I’m in a festive chrysalis
Nothing to do but live out the day
That’s the gift of the solstice
So put up your feet and look at the lights
Spilling red and gold on your skin
Short cold days and long dark nights
I take a breath and I settle in
I’m here and I’m home
The light’s getting low
And we’ve got no place else we have to go
The wind coming down
The streets of this town
Brings in the smell of snow and I know
That everything changes and we change too
But right now I’m here
With you

Sleeping trees in the meadow
Missing the birds from ages ago
Chiming bells in the distance
Calling the wind for another dance
I wish you could be by my side
I will think of you tonight
I will send you light from my mind
To make sure your stars keep shining bright
Shining bright
I would call on the woods
To melt the snow if I could
Warm your hands by the fire
Till the sun comes back to your sky
I wish you could be by my side
I will think of you tonight
I will send you light from my mind
To make sure your stars keep shining bright
Shining bright

Silent snow is so softly falling
And I'm walking back home
Alone
My hands are cold
And the moonlight is darker
‘Cause you're not with me here anymore
It's been years since you left
But I still can't forget
The way your love made me feel
Now, alone as I am
Alone, alone
And down on my knees
Again, a light over me
You're the only light I need
I was a ghost before
You stood outside my door
Flowers and wine in your hand
Laughed all around the fire
You brought me back to life
So why did I ever let you go?
Now when December comes
The dark overtakes the sun
I wonder where you are now
Oh now (now) now (now)
Now, alone as I am
Alone, alone
And down on my knees
Again, a light over me
You're the only light I need

That joyful time of year
Or so it used to be
But now it seems that joy
Has long forgot me...
Beneath the starry sky
the cold wind hits my face
reminding me of memories
that used to warm this place
The crackling of the fire
Lights gleaming on the tree
The scent of pine, an empty chair
That's all that's left for me
I can't fake one more smile
These feelings last a while
I know they only want me to be happy
But please don’t make me say
Happy Holiday
In the distance, they may be
But their love's still here with me
Through the cold and lonely night
I find solace in the starry light
I can't fake one more smile
These feelings last a while
I know they only want me to be happy
But please don’t make me say
Happy Holiday
I can't fake one more smile
These feelings last a while
I know they only want me to be happy
But please don’t make me say
Happy Holiday
That joyful time of year
Or so it used to be
But now it seems that joy
Has long forgot me...

How do you know
When you’ve done all that you can?
How does it feel
When it hurts to breathe again
If you’re in the dark and wandering
Take a step outside
Close your eyes
And look up to the sky
Let it snow
While the world is fast asleep
Let it go
All the worry that you keep
Let the quiet of the winter weather
Echo through the night
Let it quiet your mind
Let it snow
How can you tell
if you're ready to begin
How do you know
if your heart can sing again
If you’re in the dark and wandering
In the midnight air
Close your eyes
The magic will be there
Let it snow
While the world is fast asleep
Let it go
All the worries that you keep
Let the quiet of the winter weather
Echo through the night
Let it quiet your mind
Let it snow
Let it snow
While the world is fast asleep
Let it go
All the worries that you keep
Let the quiet of the winter weather
Echo through the night
Let it quiet your mind
Let it snow
Let it quiet your mind
Let it snow
Let it quiet your mind
Let it snow

Now it’s time to slow it down
Have you ever walked in winter snow
Wrap all the presents, enjoy yourself
Sing to the radio
Play with toys you’re way too old for
And decorate a tree
Finally take the break you need
And share the memories.
Even though you've had enough
I know it's been a little rough
And these last days are hard to bare
We are almost there
Let's take the short way home
We've been away for far too long
The precious moments we can share
We are almost there
What If I’m too broke to afford the gifts I’d love to give
Stuck and exhausted in december rush
Just trying to make ends meet
Sometimes life isn’t like the movies
And these darker days tend to get me down
Despite all the lights in the street.
Even the music can be bittersweet
These moments they still feel too hard to reach
Give me a chance
Let’s make this tune our own
I promise we will find our way back home
Maybe this could be the year,
You’ll be singing christmas almost here
Even though you've had enough
I know it's been a little rough
And these last days are hard to bare
We are almost there
Let's take the short way home
We've been away for far too long
The precious moments we can share
We are almost there

I’ll hang the garland and trim the tree
The white string lights glowing softly
Place ornaments from years behind
Back from when you were my Christmastime
The light’s went out I’m left in the dark
Snowflakes chill this empty heart
I look for my North Star and wish to rewind
Back to when you were my Christmastime
Every December I’d look forward to
Lighting this candle next to you
Watching the flame flicker so bright
Burning forever with no end in sight
Another year, another December
I search for the candle we’d light together
The memory of its warmth fills my mind
Just as when you were my christmas time
Every December I’d look forward to
Lighting this candle next to you
Watching the flame flicker so bright
Burning forever with no end in sight
But maybe this magic can still live and inspire
I’ll take my candle and share it’s fire
Showing the world a love so bright
It sparks all month till Christmas night
Every December I’ll look forward to
Lighting this candle because of you
I’ll watch the flame flicker so bright
Burning forever with no end in sight

I’ve been waiting
For this time of year
So dark and bright
It’s cold outside
But I feel warm
When anyplace can feel like home
Ahh ohh
Ahh ohh
I've been thinking
at this time of year
Postcards, winter nights
take me back in time
now I am home
and I don’t feel so alone
Merry Christmas from us all
May the new year bring you all
you dream of while the chill of winter
slowly melts away
Take another day another day
Slowly melt away it melts away
I’ve been wondering do you feel it in the air?
Seasons changing now every time
I go outside the Christmas lights
Make me feel warm inside
Merry Christmas from us all
May the new year bring you all
you dream of while the chill of winter
slowly melts away
Take another day another day
Slowly melt away it melts away
I’ve been waiting for this time of year
Postcards, Winter nights take me back in time
But I feel warm, Not so alone
When any place can feel like home
Merry Christmas from us all
May the new year bring you all
you dream of while the chill of winter
slowly melts away
Take another day another day
This time of year
Slowly melt away it melts away
This time of year

I’ll be alone this Christmas,
It almost was my choice,
Stuck at home this Christmas,
I might as well rejoice.
I won’t miss the London traffic,
And I won’t miss the lights,
Mister Frost can’t hurt me,
But the mistletoe just might,
So I’ll stay away from Holly,
And bundle up real tight,
And celebrate Christmas alone.
I’ll make myself a snowman,
If I need company.
He’ll appreciate my cooking,
And he’ll maybe talk to me.
We’ll make plans for our children,
And places we’ll all go,
And the fantasy will melt with the snow.
I’m by myself this Christmas, (chuckle)
That’s more gingerbread for me. Mmmmm (chuckle)
No one else this Christmas,
Why bother trimming the tree?
I’ll hang a single stocking,
And I'll fill it on my own.
I’ll somehow stop
Checking my phone.
I won’t believe in spirits
As the rafters groan,
And I celebrate Christmas alone.
I’ll be alone this Christmas,
For the first time in a while. Ooooh
But at least this Christmas,
I won’t need to fake a smile.
Ooooh mmmm

Dear Johnny, you don’t know me, but I’m your brother Rob,
Mum always talked about my dad and how it all went wrong
Growing up alone I had to take care of my mother
And now I learned of how I
never got to know my brother
Dear Rob, I can’t believe that Dad never mentioned you
But then again that’s just the way he is
I always thought I was alone and that there was no other
And now I learn of how I
never got to know my brother
So Rob I want you to tell me all the things
Me, I just turned 20 and I wanna spread my wings
How’d you find me, how’d you even find our father?
This is great, almost fate I get to
meet up with my brother
Johnny I’m just starting out, I’m living on my own
Mum’s doing better so I moved out from my home
I’d heard about my dad, and how he’d met another
I looked online and that’s where I
found I had a brother
And I will find my way to you
We could find the family we never knew
And all this time we spent alone
Now we don’t have to make it on our own
I flown 8 hours east and I’m where you said we’d meet
And though you didn’t show the Christmas lights looked pretty sweet
Waited all night and I what did I discover?
A bunch of lights, a cold wet night, and a missing brother
It's kinda weird you didn't walk down the path we said we'd follow
It's been a week, we didn't speak and I fly out tomorrow
It'd be a shame to come all this way and never find each other
There's one more day, to meet up with my brother
And I will find my way to you
We could find the family we never knew
And all this time we spent alone
Now we don’t have to make it on our own
Sorry I didn't make it but I've been with my mum
She's found out 'bout Dad's family, and now she's come undone
I wanted to be there but I couldn't leave her alone
I hope I haven't missed the only chance to know:
that I can find my way to you
that I could find the family I never knew
And all this time I've spent alone
Please say we don't have to make it on our own
Hey you made it (it's you!), and I'm so glad you're here
Yeah I'm here and this is is great, we left it late, and it is kinda weird!
Let's have a seat and grab a drink, oh and how's your mother?
Oh she's getting there, but now we're here I get to know my brother!
And I will find my way to you
We could find the family we never knew
And all this time we spent alone
Now we don’t have to make it on our own
And I will find my way to you
We could find the family we never knew
And all this time we spent alone
Now we don’t have to make it on our own
Now we don’t have to make it on our own

Now it’s coming around again, our favourite time of year. In times gone by, we came together in festive cheer
Little ones wrapped up in bed, lights fade as darkness falls, and mum and dad ready themselves, to prepare for it all…
It’s mistletoe, cold and snow, the grinch and elf on video, mince in pies, family ties, Christmas trees, shining lights, jingle bells, santa baby, turkey, gravy, gingerbread, games and sweets, and a cracker each.
There’s office parties, filling stockings, Christmas carol singers knocking, let it snow, present bows, hot cocoa, snowball fights, silent night, roaring fires, candle lights. It’s Go! Go! Go! Ho! Ho! Ho! It’s Nöel
Here it comes, once again, we raise a glass, we eat too much.
Home Alone and Mr Scrooge. Kids lie in bed, with one eye open.
For the next day, presents waiting under the tree.
Unwrap them all, toss them on, and then it's over...
It’s mistletoe, cold and snow, the grinch and elf on video, mince in pies, family ties, Christmas trees, shining lights, jingle bells, santa baby, turkey, gravy, gingerbread, games and sweets, and a cracker each.

Woke up without snow today
But still cold for LA
The Coffee in the kitchen
Is calling out my name
hour it will take to drive 5 miles in this rain
The boring obligations that they call a holiday
No, I don’t need no Santa Claus
No fancy gifts from Amazon
Don’t care about the things I lack
I’m happy without all of that
So keep your shiny, pricey things
My joy comes from this song I sing…
Christmas is overrated
Christmas is overrated
Don’t wanna do my makeup
But I’ll do it anyway
The most wonderful time of year
Is such a chore for me
Now I’m stuck inside this parking lot they like to call a freeway
Miss me with that noise, it’s causing clutter in my brain
No, I don’t need no Santa Claus
No fancy gifts from Amazon
Don’t care about the things I lack
I’m happy without all of that
So keep your shiny, pricey things
My joy comes from this song I sing…
Christmas is overrated
Christmas is overrated
I just want to be home
With my cat
With my hair undone
On the couch
Bundled up
In an ugly blanket
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
‘Cause, I don’t need no Santa Claus
No fancy gifts from Amazon
Don’t care about the things I lack
I’m happy without all of that
So keep your shiny, pricey things
My joy comes from this song I sing…
Christmas is overrated
Christmas is overrated
No, I don’t need no Santa Claus
No fancy gifts or fake applause
For things that I don’t care about
Ideals I could live without
Don’t care for fame, don’t need the clout
If that’s your game, have fun, I’m out
Christmas is overrated
Christmas is overrated
Christmas is overrated

Snow falling down covering the town
raise a glass to the year that's passed
we can make these memories last
Do you hear the violins?
there is cheering there is dancing
raise your voice and make some noise
join the choir and sing
Sing out loud
Sing it out
A joyful sound
Sing it out
It's home with you here
and the darkness dissappears
fires glow melt that snow
it's home when you are near
I wouldnt change any part of you my dear
sing out loud
sing it out
a joyful sound
sing it out
sing it out out out yeah
sing it out
sing it out

I've been walking the same road
I've been carrying the same hope
Someone will walk down the same road as me
home
I just wanna feel love this season
I just want something to believe in
it's been an uphill battle all year
can someone take it from here
But I keep on forgetting
That I live in this body
And no one can hold me quite like I do
I been fighting my battles
Finding hope in the shadows
Seeing joy in all the snow covered trees
I'm giving my love this Christmas to me
I’m giving my love this Christmas to me
But where did the year go
Why am I sad now the wind blows?
I’m swept up in all of these doubts
As I stare out the window
Watching sparkling lights glow
Trynna to save myself from burning out
I'm giving my love this Christmas to me
I’m giving my love this Christmas to me
I should be laughing when no ones around
I should wearing my own paper crown
I should wrapping the gifts that i found for myself
I should be putting the star on the tree
Lighting the candles I got just for me
Finding the time in this space just for me that I need
I’m giving my love this Christmas
I’m loving myself this Christmas
I’m finding myself this Christmas
I’m giving my love this Christmas to me
I’m giving my love this Christmas to me
I’m giving my love this Christmas to me
I’m giving my love this Christmas to me

It's the time of the year
When some of us look for that Christmas cheer
But for some of us it's just another day
Let me tell you, that's just ok
It's the season for love you better believe it
Call your family call your friends they need to hear it
It's the season for love
Hey Pa how you doing?
How's mom and what she got cooking?
Hey big brother bet you can't catch me in a race
'Cause you're getting old
And hey baby sister, let me tell you everything you're doing wrong
'Cause that's my job
It's the season for love you better believe it
Call your family call your friends they need to hear it
It's the season for love
Let this be a season for everyone
No matter where you come from
I hope you have peace, joy and love
It's the season of love
It's the season for love you better believe it
Call your family call your friends they need to hear it
It's the season for love

Snow falls, covers all the trees around us
Quietly, inside; our hands clasped by the fireplace
On our walls, the pictures of the life we’ve built they are
Memories (they bring a) sense of peace; frozen in time
Way down memory lane / we take a stroll and see
Who we were and grew to be, looking back it makes me
Sway now, recollecting dancing by the tree
On Christmas Eve, all was calm / all was bright
All the lights shining bright all around the town
Children sing in angels’ wings while snow is falling down
All the things the season brings; with you they’re much better now
You are all I need this Christmas Eve
Come now, let’s make snow angels then we’ll figure skate
Around the lake, might even take some time to just unwind
We’ve found; our special place in making Christmas time
Feel safe and sound; no one around just you and I
You feel, like home my sweet, the things you do for me
(They bring a) sense of ease, like I can just let go / not worry so
We’ll fall asleep; under the stars this gorgeous winter night
Serenity; the silence brings a restful peace
All the lights shining bright all around the town
Children sing in angels’ wings while snow is falling down
All the things the season brings; with you they’re much better now
You are all I need this Christmas Eve

Loud thoughts in my head
Quiet when snowflakes are
Falling
Falling
Can you repeat that?
I wasn't listening
Sorry
Sorry
Focus keep silent
You’re moving too much
Stop with the stimming, it's weird
You're embarrassing us
If I don't behave I'll get
Coal in my stocking
I'm trying
Trying
I smile and I chuckle
But deep down I know that I'm
Lying
Lying
They say I’m ungrateful
While hovering over
My Body
My Body
He breathes in my face
As he asks me if I have been
Naughty
Naughty
Hug them they love you
Stop making a fuss
But the sounds and the smells
and the people are hurting too much
I fill my plate with the
Food that all day I've been
Craving
Craving
Try the green beans
Your auntie worked so hard
To Make it
Just taste it
Can my joy and comfort
Be something you value as much
As the look on her face when I bite down
And you hear a crunch
Please excuse me
I'm in the bedroom to
Silence my senses
Hiding
Hiding
A book under covers
I'm cozy and safe
Finally
Finally
Footsteps and engines
And now they’re all gone
Loud thoughts in my head
Quiet when snowflakes are
Falling
Falling

Burrow and hold, in your meadow of snow
We face the cold, blinding bold
Stories of our own, woven and told
They keep us warm
When winter’s born
When winter’s born
When winter…
Sheltered away on shortest days
They flutter and play, a crystal ballet
Settle in to stay when winds give chase
Weighted by snow
Of winter’s storms
Of winter’s storms
Of winter…
