about

A holiday breakup song written by Mother Banjo.

lyrics

Christmas came early this year
The lights, good cheer
And your love
You came as a gift
All shiny and new
But now it's December,
And no you

No one here but me
The cat, the car and the Christmas tree
Angels up on high
Can't you hear me cryin
I need a guiding light
I need you tonight

Christmas came early and went
The cards all sent
With your name
A photo so sweet
Same sweaters on
I should have known
Something was wrong

No one here but me
The cat, that sweater and the Christmas tree
Angels up on high
Can't you hear me cryin
I need a guiding light
I need you tonight

Christmas came early, but now
No hymns, no sound...
You took all the good CDs
And the holiday LPs
You left the crappy mixtapes,
Take them please

No one here but me
The cat, your mixes and the Christmas tree
Angels up on high
Can't you hear me cryin
I need a guiding light
I need you tonight

Christmas came early this year
The hangover, the beer
And regret
It's the last and first night
On this midnight clear
Come all ye faithful,
It's a brand new year

Come here with me
Gather round the Christmas tree
Angels up on high
I looked to the sky
I found the east star light
On this silent night
O holy night
I'm not alone tonight...
