Tekst :

The young gentleman came riding past
on a snow-blue winter s day
He asked to drink by our fire and
I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while
and then he turned and said to me

Your eyes are green
Like summer grass
Your lips are red
like a fresh-cut rose
Your hair is soft
like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

And the night will come but I won t sleep
as I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
but still my heart goes with him
I m saving all my Sunday clothes for the day
that I ll be leaving
Father knows
My sister knows

And my friends
They re happy for me
And the priest he says
you should thank God
for the blessing of such beauty

And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day

On Christmas Day
I shall return for you
My love...

And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say

I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I said I will return on Christmas Day
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day
My love
I will return on Christmas Day
I shall return ,my love, on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day

Echo of history
A light so many strain to see
The One we talk so much about
But rarely ever live it out

Could You tell me why
Was it for this You came and died
A once a week observance
When...

Lord they really think they fooling you by coming to church on Sunday
praying and laying hands on folks stomping and jumping around faking the holy ghost
but its a thin line between walking it and talking it
living it and giving it or just pretending it s alright
and did they really think...

In pains, and sorrow
Stay life the same, tomorrow?

Depression, grows deep
I m buried, beneath

I am the world in one
Anger, suffer pain and sorrow
Expecting to reach a life beyond
Waiting paradise to come

I am the world in one
Anger, suffer pain and sorrow
Expecting to reach a life beyond
Waiting paradise to come

What do we really...

You almost know me suffer from the same desire
You now can understand
Didn t stop to think again
You moved i ran an open wound
We must conclude
I know a man who only cries an old desire (he s just a man)
This is for me and i know everyone knows
This is for you...

Well, I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
I should have flapped away
I needed to come back and show you
I needed to go back
I know it s wrong
I laughed to get along

[Chorus]
Mama just called
Says she s tucked away
Mama just called
Says she s tucked away...
