It's coming up to December
Time to bring out the old family quarrels
Time for you to take off and ruin the season again
When all I'm asking you for
Is a bit of respect for our reason
You certainly do find it hard to extend
Joy to the world
I've lost my sister
What peace on earth
Is there to be found
But if I were to tell you
What I honestly want
I still hope she comes home for Christmas
Our childhood in my head:
You and me in a world made of light
Everything an adventure, everything alive
The shadow cast over your eyes
Turning light into dark into spite
Everything something backwards, everything a lie
Joy to the world
I've lost my sister
What peace on earth
Is there to be found
But if I were to tell you
What I honestly want
I still hope she comes home for Christmas
For Christmas
