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
Auditioned for ass-end of horse in village pantomime
Just to hear your voice calling from the back
"It's behind you!" Oh yeah, 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
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
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

Christmas eve, torrential rain
One single snowflake on this plain
I held you in gloved hands
And I'm not letting go
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
New Year to November
It's looming near, it lingers close
Into December
When Christmas comes, what's lurking goes

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime
Lift your glasses high
For the boy child

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime
Lift your glasses high
For the boy child

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime
Lift your glasses high
For the boy child

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime
Lift your glasses high
For the boy child

When Christmas comes
