A Christmas Couplet

by The Altogether

/
1.
There’s snowfall And everything it seems so peaceful The carols of the happy people Are filling the air And life slows to a crawl The tea is oversteeped and amber And I’ve been dreaming December away in my chair But I’ll stay up until your coat’s on that wall I just need you here Oh baby, what do you say to a Christmas truce? This old white flag ain’t been getting much use It’s folded and put away Oh baby, I’m singing the same old Christmas blues As long as we’re fighting baby we both lose I can’t lose you this way On Christmas day Silent Night Echoing between the trenches With lovers coming off their benches To meet in between So just hold me tight I’m only fighting if it’s for you And once you walk in the door you set the scene Oh baby, what do you say to a Christmas truce? This old white flag ain’t been getting much use It’s folded and put away Oh baby, I’m singing the same old Christmas blues As long as we’re fighting baby we both lose I can’t lose you this way On Christmas day

Mama, you’re always getting me pajamas In a world built on Hollywood rules Where legends and fools Would much rather dress for the drama Well I could never go for that Box it up and send it back I’d rather stay here where I’m at But time goes by I thought just to tell you how lucky I’ve been It only feels right that tonight I’ll turn in While snow falls outside Silent and sure And I’m where I’m supposed to be Though you’re not close to me much like before I’ve still got that matching set This night ain’t over yet Mama, you’re always getting me pajamas While other boys dreamed Of get-rich-quick schemes And numbers between all the commas Forgetting the quiet magic of The holy nights with ones you love The crackling of the final log And melodies that carry your slumber The river froze I thought it might buckle with all of my weight But my feet took some chances and my hands built skates I paid little mind To the kettle’s shrill song But shot through the trees as the wind swept my face And tears followed along The sweetest cold I ever met This night ain’t over yet Mama, you’re always getting me pajamas In a world built on Hollywood rules Where legends and fools Would much rather dress for the drama I could never go for that Box it up and send it back I’d rather stay here where I’m at I’d rather stay here where I’m at ‘Cause this night ain’t over yet This night ain’t over yet
