Christmas Lights

Lyrics & Music by Steven Jackson & Brighter Things

I'm never gonna take my Christmas lights away

though Summer burns & shakes & Spring & Fall make it all easier to take

There'll be a twinkle on the rooftop, right over my head

Where every single light makes it feel possible tonight

To rise up from my bed - To something unexpected, something Heaven-sent

I'll never take away my Christmas lights until then

And I walk out through the back yard

Where puddles never dry

& my silent green leaves they won't crack, no they won't sing

no matter how hard my summer-feet try

There'll be a twinkle on the rooftop, right over my head

Where every single light makes it feel possible tonight

To rise up from my bed - To something unexpected, something Heaven-sent

I'll never take away my Christmas lights until then

Stars, little strings of stars

Don't it make it hard, to wish 'em all away

Stars, electric neclases of stars

Babe I wonder where you are ... when you'll wrap back around my way

So I'm never gonna take - my Christmas lights away

but if ever there's a day

Your eyes go reachin' for that beacon that might bring you home to stay

We'll there'll be a winkle on the rooftop, right over my head

Where every single light makes it feel possible tonight

To rise up from my bed - To something unexpected, something Heaven-sent

I'll never take away my Christmas lights

maybe you will find me on a not-so-starry night

maybe you will find me when this city ain't so bright

I'll never take away my Christmas lights Amen.
