When The Trees Come Down

We’ve sung the songs about peace and love
Sung our praises to the heavens above
I’m walking down this road again
I’ve wasted all this time, my friend
I’m not angry, I’m not sad
This time of year always makes me feel bad

Colour up the grey again
I see a few more lines, my friend
I’m older but I’m young
This time of year I can never see the sun

The day the trees come down, on that January day
An empty feeling grows in my heart
Until the birdsong calls, and the snows melt away
My life’s a cold dark space, in an empty place in time, in time

We’ve sung the songs about peace and love
Sung our praises to the heavens above
Getting back to work again
Gets harder every year, my friend
I’m not hungry, I get by
But times like this always makes me sigh

Got those after-Christmas blues again
It happens every year, my friend
I go crazy, I get bored
I miss the spirit of the season of the Lord
Season of the Lord

The day the trees come down, on that January day
An empty feeling grows in my heart
Until the birdsong calls, and the snows melt away
My life’s a cold dark space, in an empty place in time, in time

When February comes, my life will start anew
And I will put behind me, the pain I’ve been going through
And all those songs of peace and love, the festive tales and rhymes
Like my blues will drift away, until the next time

The day the trees come down, on that January day
An empty feeling grows in my heart
Until the birdsong calls, and the snows melt away
My life’s a cold dark space, in an empty place in time, in time, in time
