When I made you the trees
You know, those bright green sugar cookies
You ate just the frosting
So I threw all my sugar cooking away
Angry words of pointless rage completely drowned out the jingle bells
Jingling away
That yelled-upon Christmas song
Made for a really sub-par pre-holiday
So let's forget about that argument
And put our differences aside
It's just one night of 365
You wrote me a note
To let me know just how crazy I am
I tore it to pieces
After one of my crazy crazy lady rants
And to this day I can't say how it ended up
In the mouth of the fireplace
That symbol of peace and love had an appetite bigger than usual
That's all I'll say
So let's forget about that paper
And put our differences aside
It's just one night of 365
I've got something to tell you
Though I'm not sure which words to use
"I'm sorry" sounds nice
You know, for being completely insane sometimes
It's too bad you don't like to listen to the songs I play,
Especially the ones I write
Cause I won't say in any way that I am sorry for anything
Don't worry, you already
Told me I’m crazy
And I know that I’m crazy, leave it alone
So let's forget about this relationship
And lead independent lives
One's too many of 365

Platinum is a cloudy sky
Snow flakes are merely tears
Fall packs its bags, it's had enough
Winter is on its way
The trees shed their leaves, we mourn their loss
Snow comes to erase
The flighty geese land their caravans
You will be missed, please don't go
It's cold outside

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Said the little man to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace wall, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

I don't know how long I have waited
For my boy to be infatuated
With a doe more than his girl
It's really sad
Which one will it be:
Dasher or Dancer or Prancer or me?
No one wants to know a reindeer
I don't think I can look at your face

City Square

I'm going to the city
Square tonight
Pick up something simple
For the ones I love tonight
We've lost all meaning
In all the obstacles
Jump through hoops
And run in circles
Do this and that
For a smile
What happened
To something simple?

Me gusta el té durante el invierno

Above my bed hangs a rainbow
Of artificial light
And I can't manage to keep my eyes closed
No matter how hard I try
Maybe I should take some medication
There's too much excitement here
But I'll admit that I should have seen this coming
It happens every year
And after a while, 20 minutes or so
I'm beginning to feel restless
I've counted all the sheep in the world
And that method proves hopeless
It seems that there's nothing left to do
But keep awake till morning
But as soon as that though crossed my mind
I'd already begun snoring, and now it's morning
