lyrics
Every color of light Moves towards the invisible Seasons shorter than night Darkness outlasts a miracle Do you see what I see Is there snow where you are So quick to meet destiny You put too much trust in the stars Light through the storefront Fading like letters Cards that you saved An acquaintance remembered The ghost of the past prays for your surrender this year Habits like steel wool Bend their will to the cold The trash of the new year Sews itself to the old I've been a coward But I can't fight the truth I don't have the answer Why I hold back when it comes to you Light through the storefront Fading like letters Cards that you saved An acquaintance remembered The ghost of the future cries for your surrender this year

about

Every year I write a song for the longest night of the year, which is a very dramatic way of saying I write a Christmas song every year. I love Christmas songs—they can be as corny & sentimental as you like & no one bats an eye. Here's hoping you get everything you wish for xx

Thanks to Mark, Julie, Phil, Aaron, Beth, Markie, & Brandi for their last minute backing tracks! I wanted the second half of the song to sound like Bill Withers meets Fleetwood Mac but it sounds more like "Moving Right Along" from The Muppet Movie. Oh well.
