Christmas night
Another fight Tears we cried a flood Got all kinds of poison in Of poison in my bloodI took my feet to Oxford street
Trying to right a wrong "Just walk away" those windows say But I can't believe she's goneWhen you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at allUp above candles on air flicker
Oh, they flicker, and they flow And I'm up here holding onto All those chandeliers of hope And like some drunken Elvis singing I go singing out of tune Singing how I always loved you, darling And I always willOh, when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all Still waiting for the snow to fall It doesn't really feel like Christmas at allThose Christmas lights
Light up the street Down where the sea and city meet May all your troubles soon be gone Oh, Christmas lights keep shining onThose Christmas lights
Light up the street Maybe they'll bring her back to me And then all my troubles will be gone Oh, Christmas lights keep shining onOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, Christmas lights
Light up the street Light up the fireworks in me May all your troubles soon be gone Those Christmas lights keep shining onLook at the stars
Look how they shine for youAnd everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you And all the things you doAnd it was called Yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh, what a thing to have done And it was all yellowYour skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful And you know, you know I love you soYou know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you Oh, what a thing to do 'Cause you were all yellowI drew a line
I drew a line for you Oh, what a thing to do And it was all yellowAnd your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful And you know, for you, I'd bleed myself dry For you, I'd bleed myself dryIt's true
Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for Look how they shine for you Look how they shine for you Look how they shineLook at the stars
Look how they shine for you And all the things that you doCome up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are I had to find you, tell you I need you Tell you I set you apartTell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start Running in circles, coming up tails Heads on a science apartNobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh, take me back to the startI was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart Questions of science, science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me Oh and I rush to the startRunning in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we areNobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start
