about

I wrote this song during a year spent living in the Cascade Mountains. It's dedicated to anyone who finds this time of year difficult, for whatever reason. Sending light and love, always.

Sam

lyrics

the halo of a street lamp peels back the veil
of a long cold winter night
I silently watch as tiny fragments of heaven
drift down to meet the ground

it's always been a tough time of year
never felt quite whole with this hole in my soul

I never did quite get the hang of christmas
that's why i'm hoping you might light my tree
I never did quite get the hang of christmas
that's why i'm hoping you might show me

I wait beneath the mistletoe and I hope that I won't let it show
just how broken I am
I think I'm ready to let you in but it's hard learnin to love again
I'll do what I can

it's always been a tough time of year
not enough hello's and too many goodbyes

I never did quite get the hang of christmas
that's why i'm hoping you might light my tree
I never did quite get the hang of christmas
that's why i'm hoping you might show me how
that's why i'm hoping you might show me
