歌词
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
Instead it just kept on raining
With tears for the Virgin's birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
Their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
They told me a fairy story
Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
I looked at the sky with excited eyes
Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish and pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
Hallelujah Noel, be it heaven or hell
The Christmas you get you deserve
