Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, friends, from my conflicted heart to yours. I think Aimee Mann gets it just about perfect in this song. She's wishing you well but at the same time she sees beneath the veneer of false cheer and there's more than a little bite to how she sings "Merry Christmas." Enjoy, and I'll be back with you soon.
Aimee Mann--"Calling on Mary (Christmas)" mp3 off One More Drifter in the Snow (buy)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Salvation's coming cheap today
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I searched the skyline for a star
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
And baby I wondered where you are
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
'Cause comfort's not possible when
You look past the joy to the end
Calling on Mary is voluntary
Unless you're alone like me
If there's a star above, then it can look like love
When they light up the Christmas tree
When I was young I couldn't see
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
All that my true love gave to me
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
She offered sight to the blind
But I'm not the miracle kind
Calling on Mary is voluntary
Unless you're alone like me
If there's a star above, then it can look like love
When they light up the Christmas tree
And to all the lost souls down below:
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
What's one more drifter in the snow?
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas . . .
happy christmas to you. i hope santa was good to you!
I always loved this song, but now after reading the lyrics, I love it even
more. Happy Christmas!
it really is a great song, isn't it? i love the lines: "when i was young i
couldn't see all that my true love gave to me. she offered sight to the
blind, but i'm not the miracle kind." merry christmas. : )
Hope the day was OK for you. Good news - another year before we have to do
it again. Love this Aimee Mann tune. Will definitely add this one to my
Xmas playlist for next year.
afm--thank you, yes it actually was ok, all things considered! i was
greatly relieved to have to over and done with. not the world's best
attitude, but it is what it is! glad you like this song. : )
Sorry I'm late......blame the postie.
