The Lilac Time – The Needles lyrics
Oh sometimes it's a happy
Sometimes it's happy sad
As the old year hits the slipway
Was it all so bad

Oh but when you're all together
You're still all alone
Is it the present you can't get out of
Or the future you can't postpone

Heretics who once slept on your floor
Are singing carols at your door

And they're putting up the Christmas tree
They're taking down the Christmas tree
The needles never stick to me
It all goes by so quickly

And I'm so glad you came to me
And saved me from stupidity
Every day is Christmas Day
Ever since you came my way

You and your child kill me
You and your child don't give up
You and your child kill me
You and our child we won't give up

Paper snowflakes stuck to windows
Of the school you used to go to
And my heartache's in the shadows
Like the fool who didn't tell you

That I loved you like a snowstorm
Like walking barefoot through a fire
You're the dream I always steal from
My definitive desire

We're pioneers and mutineers
Or whatever you hold dear

And we're putting up the Christmas tree
We're taking down the Christmas tree
The needles never stick to me
It all goes by so quickly

And I'm so glad you came to me
And saved me from stupidity
Every day is Christmas Day
Ever since you came my way

You and your child kill me
You and your child don't give up
You and your child kill me
You and our child

Merry Christmas, Mom
Merry Christmas, Pop
We all still love you
Some things time can't stop

I'm a dad now too
This year she'll be five
Happy New Year
It's still good to be alive

Putting up the Christmas tree
And taking down the Christmas tree
The needles never stick to me
It all goes by so quickly

And I'm so glad you came to me
And saved me from stupidity
Every day is Christmas Day
Ever since you came my way

You and your child kill me
You and your child don't give up
You and your child kill me
You and our child we won't give up
