This Time of Year - Skagarack

There’s no other night

With half the emotion

There’s no other time

All through the year

You can’t just leave it out

You can’t ignore it

It’s all over you

Everywhere you go

We see it coming with different eyes

The poor men and the lonely just try to survive

They just can’t believe it’s already here

This time of year

All the kids can’t wait, it took forever

Santa needs a break in the local store

Plastic lights are on, the city is on fire

cradles fly around in sweet harmony

There are places in this world

Where fathers shoot each other and mothers shed tears

And I wonder how the children must feel

This time of the year

And there’s no false doubt as I’m walking around

With a million thoughts on my mind

But I know tonight it’ll all be alright

When my love walks safe by my side

There’s no other night

With half the emotion

There’s no other time

All through the year

We see it coming through different eyes, yeah

The poor man and the lonely just try to survive

They just can’t believe it’s already here

Lovers hug each other and those they have dear

They just can’t believe it’s already here

This time of year

This time of year

Different eyes
