It's Christmas Eve (And I Guess I'm Alone)

from Hark! Lonely Android Boys by Willem Kristoferson

about

Christmas isn't all about joy; it can be about pain. Lucky for us, the more we feel it, the easier it is to recognize love. Hopefully your Christmas will be filled with either.

lyrics

Oh, my brother, My soul,
Will you give me it all?
With all of the blood and the pain.
With all of the tears and the shame?

We came, and we watched, and we saw,
We learned of the man and the water.
And suicide dreams they will show,
whats locked in the attic with ghosts.

Oh, Oh well he gives,
Yes he gives…… and he takes it all away.
And just as you think he's asleep, he will wake,
He will wake up to say:

"Whether its rising from graves,
Whether its freeing those slaves..."
He looked right down at his palms,
And he saw all that had gone wrong.

The years and the distance have shown,
What the age of our faces have known.
"When I look at you, I know im alone
and It's Christmas Eve!"

Oh, Oh well he gives,
Yes he gives…… and he takes it all away.
And just as you think he's asleep, he will wake,
He will wake up to say:
