Christmas Child - Carbon Leaf

Winter’s eve is creepin' in on December first, on a cold wind,

and on the pantry door hangs a calendar

counting down the days with their little doors

and I am just a Christmas Child,

I lie upon the floor by the firelight in my home

Winter’s eve, December 4. The tree is up and the lights adorn.

I push the cloves into a tangerine,

fetch the holly from a neighbor’s tree

and I am just a Christmas Child,

I lie upon the floor by the firelight in my home

and I will lie lie lie awake,

I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away.

Three weeks til Christmas Day.

Winter’s eve is nearer still, the house she creaks and the wind chills.

Howlin' wind but I remain safely by the lighted pane.

The frost, right upon the glass,

you see the treeline fade into the dark of night right on time.

and I will lie lie lie awake,

I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away.

I will lie lie lie awake,

lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away.

Two weeks til Christmas Day.

and I will lie lie lie awake,

I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away.

I will lie lie lie awake,

lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away.

I will lie lie lie awake,

lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away.

One week til Christmas Day.

One week til Christmas Day.

One week til Christmas Day.
