There’s snowfall
And everything it seems so peaceful
The carols of the happy people
Are filling the air

And life slows to a crawl
The tea is oversteeped and amber
And I’ve been dreaming December away in my chair

But I’ll stay up until your coat’s on that wall
I just need you here

Oh baby, what do you say to a Christmas truce?
This old white flag ain’t been getting much use
It’s folded and put away
Oh baby, I’m singing the same old Christmas blues
As long as we’re fighting baby we both lose
I can’t lose you this way
On Christmas day

Silent Night
Echoing between the trenches
With lovers coming off their benches
To meet in between

So just hold me tight
I’m only fighting if it’s for you
And once you walk in the door you set the scene
Oh baby, what do you say to a Christmas truce?
This old white flag ain’t been getting much use
It’s folded and put away
Oh baby, I’m singing the same old Christmas blues
As long as we’re fighting baby we both lose
I can’t lose you this way
On Christmas day
