Carbon Leaf - Christmas Child Lyrics

Carbon Leaf Lyrics

"Christmas Child"

Winter's eve is creepin' in on December first, on a cold wind
And on the pantry door hangs a calendar
Counting down the days with their little doors

And I am just a Christmas Child
I lie upon the floor by the firelight in my home

Winter's eve, December 4. The tree is up and the lights adorn
I push the cloves into a tangerine
Fetch the holly from a neighbor's tree

And I am just a Christmas Child
I lie upon the floor by the firelight in my home

And I will lie lie lie awake
I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
Three weeks til Christmas Day

Winter's eve is nearer still, the house she creaks and the wind chills
Howlin' wind but I remain safely by the lighted pane
The frost, right upon the glass
You see the treeline fade into the dark of night right on time

And I will lie lie lie awake
I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
I will lie lie lie awake
Lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away
Two weeks til Christmas Day

And I will lie lie lie awake
I will lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away

I will lie lie lie awake
Lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away

I will lie lie lie awake
Lie lie lie awake and I will stay right here until I fade away

One week til Christmas Day
One week til Christmas Day
One week til Christmas Day
