Giles Corey - Black Christmas lyrics
[Giles Corey - Black Christmas lyrics]
The trees have dropped their leaves
And all pretense of living
Followed with frozen sleep
And forgetting summer’s name
I raise my hands to winter
Barest branches form a shape
The sky has frozen over
And I will do the same
Cut the tree down and drag it in
Drape it’s body in ornaments
Like us it once was a living thing
But we stole it's life and limb
It’s a black, black season
It’s a black, black season
And I don't need no reason
To be sad on Christmas day
And all pretense of living
Followed with frozen sleep
And forgetting summer’s name
I raise my hands to winter
Barest branches form a shape
The sky has frozen over
And I will do the same
Cut the tree down and drag it in
Drape it’s body in ornaments
Like us it once was a living thing
But we stole it's life and limb
It’s a black, black season
It’s a black, black season
And I don't need no reason
To be sad on Christmas day
