The Scapeghost of Christmas Present

lyrics

I’ve been asking myself since I first saw you smile
What gifts I could offer, carried over these miles
Of snow that never fell between us

The stories we tell about the myths of childhood
No happier time than planes made of balsa wood
Train tracks laid out on your kitchen floor
Christmas is real

I’ve given you lights to cover the spectrum
Memories too pure to offer up for dissection
Wrapping too torn to be put together, oh no

Now all you have to do to preserve these trappings
Are gifts to a child and the smell of pine needles
There are some things no one can ever steal
Christmas is real

I’ve been waiting all night just to say this
You are the first thing I put on my list
Stay, you’re the only thing that I missed
I’ve been waiting all night just to say this

The lights are all out
The lights are all out
And the windows are dark
Children asleep on the wings of a lark
And you in the bed of prayer that I speak
Christmas is real
Christmas is real
Christmas is real
Christmas is real
