lyrics

Keep your arms around me, dont let go of this tight embrace,
The stars provide the setting and the streetlamps light your face,
And because its nearly christmas, and the winter has taken hold,
It barely matters that we are so cold.

Can you feel the icy shudder, hear the ringing of the bell,
Can you deny the politicians that were promising us hell,
Can you ignore the faces that appear in the sleet,
Of the friends and the lovers that you’ve still to meet

Layer all your clothing, wrap up and hide
From the people of tomorrow the that want to look inside,
And you will shimmy through the crowds, and you will shiver through the snow
And you will lie warm by the fire in the old house that you once called home

Tell the cynical they’re not welcome, in this room any more,
You can drape yourself in tinsel, use your crayons on the wall
You can laugh without the looks, you can sing without the sneers
Its any other day, without any of the fears

The december fogs are coming down,
Clinging at the branches, rolling on the ground,
But your hands are warm, and now so are mine,
If we walk together, we’ll be just fine
