Song by Ben Smith

lyrics

Every winter is a close call, it's a free fall
it's a long way down
hard to see there's an end to it at all

Every branch is an outline, against the skyline
but I can't make out
what they're trying to say

but when we string up the lights
it's like somebody invites us in
every wintery night
there's a chance for the light to come through -- you see it, too

(and now)
Finally it feels like Christmas
We needed the night to see the day
the quiet is all around us
there's nothing left for us to say

now it's getting colder, and we're older
and we're upside down
everything is strange

this year's been a long one, and we're unstrung
we've lost the thread
the story got lost

but when we string up the lights
it's like somebody invites us in
every wintery night
there's a chance for the light to come through -- you see it, too

Finally it feels like Christmas
We needed the night to see the day
the quiet is all around us
there's nothing left for us to say

So finally it feels like Christmas
now that I'm sitting here with you
all of the lights look different
and all of the bells are ringing true

Maybe when it's snowing, it's like knowing
that the world can stop
and freeze for a while

Every kind of giving is forgiving
and that's all we need
to be here now

Finally it feels like Christmas
We needed the night to see the day
the quiet is all around us
there's nothing left for us to say

So finally it feels like Christmas
now that I'm sitting here with you
all of the lights look different
and all of the bells are ringing true
