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
