lyrics

I guess tonight is Christmas Eve,
But there won't be any gifts for me.
An empty stocking hangs with dis-ease
Near the burned out bulbs 'round a dried up tree.

It's been years since I've been good.
Can't fly straight like I know I should.
On Santa's list, mine's a house of sin
With burned out bulbs 'round a dried up tree.

At least today I know one thing:
this time of year and the joy it brings.
It's easy to see what you ain't got,
So leave my burned out bulbs 'round my dried up tree.

Leave my burned out bulbs 'round my dried up tree.
