When Christmas Comes
When I go home I will walk via tinseltown,
down LED avenues, jingle bells all around
Where they pluck all the stars from out the sky,
and they hang them from rafters up on high
I wished away the last year, it was the worst of times,
audition for ass end of horse in village pantomime.
Just to hear your voice calling from the back
“it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God for that
Christmas Eve, torrential rain
One single snowflake on this plain
I held you in gloved hands
and I’m not letting go
New Year to November
It’s looming near, it lingers close
Into December,
when Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes
Saved hard all Winter to ensure your stocking’s full,
joined the choir, took myself door to door
making small change with all the carollers
every mention of His name changed to yours
A dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree,
left unattended ’til second week of February.
In the morning, you’re lying next to me
Covered in gold, stole from nativity
Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime!
Lift your glasses high
for the Boy Child!
