Goodnight. 06:17
Darling I know it’s hard to close your eyes In the dark it feels like everybody’s gone Darling I know it’s hard to say goodnight But it’s the only way to make the morning come All of these fires must burn themselves away Every ember blinking out one by one Darling I know it’s hard to close your eyes But it’s the only to make Christmas come Wake up to your present now The people all around you came together and chipped in Tied it with a ribbon Wake up to a field of white Some blank piece of paper asking you to write Whatever you like It happened when you learned to say Picture a town where nothing ever fades In the distance all the sizes stay the same Nothing makes room, so nothing's new Go put your toys away so someone else can play Wake up to your present now The people all around you came together and chipped in Tied it with a ribbon Wake up to a field of white Some blank piece of paper asking you to write Whatever you like It happened when you learned to say goodnight Give me one more new year’s kiss You never know which one the last is This planet sings as it spins So you had better listen Na na na na na Tonight make some music just to face it Tonight ignore the time completely wasted Tonight act like I’m a better man Everybody here gets another year Wake up to your present now The people all around you came together and chipped in Tied it with a ribbon Wake up to a field of white Some blank piece of paper asking you to write Whatever you like Happened when you learned to say goodnight

at someone else's christmas they just sit around and wait while the food's all changing flavours and the people rearrange and with someone else's christmas if the music ever stopped I'd be waiting at the table standing tall and singing out la... cuz with someone else's christmas when you're outside looking in all the presents seem so desperate and traditions just feel grim so it's someone else's christmas just a little left or right of the way you learned and memorized all the smells and sounds and sights la.... On someone else's christmas when you think you've made the grade there's a surgeon telling stories of the people that he saved Though it's someone else's christmas you can recognize what's right And How without these people, it'd be just another night La...... it's too soon to say what it means or what it is and it may be the case that a meaning never fits it's not what you do it's only who you do it with even when it don't feel right it is I've heard people happy with Hand-me-downs the same old gifts there's no room for falling on the ground I've seen people following, anything and everything And that's all fine but we're still singing out. La..... it's too soon to say what it means or what it is and it may be the case that a meaning never fits it's not what you do it's only who you do it with even when it don't feel right it is
