Lyrics

[Verse 1] They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead itjustkept on raining Aveil of tears for the virginbirth I remember one Christmas morning A winter's light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire [Verse 2] They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a Silent Night They told me a fairy story 'Til I believed in the Israelite And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked to the sky with excited eyes 'Til I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn I saw him and through his disguise [Verse 3] I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave New Year All anguish 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 we get we deserve
