Lyrics
Down Here (a Christmas Song) December 2019
It’s a bleak midwinter
Frosty wind will moan
The earth is hard as iron
My heart is a stone
Snow is falling, snow on snow
Snow on snow
And I‘m asking all the reindeer, “Where did my love go?”
Chorus
‘Cause I’m down here on this silent night
And you’re somewhere up with the stars and tinsel satellites
It’s just another Christmas
It’s just one more thing
All the earth’s asleep now
It’s waiting for the spring
Snow is falling, snow on snow
Snow on snow
And I’m asking all the wisemen, “Where did my love go?”
‘Cause I’m down here on this silent night
And you’re somewhere up with the stars and tinsel satellites
Bridge
It’s a bleak one
Make you weak one
The cold bites to the bone
And the choir sings “Peace on earth now”
And I can’t find my way home
It’s a bleak one
Make you weak on
The cold bites to the bone
And the choir sings “Hallelujah”
And I’ve never felt so alone
Down here on this silent night
And you’re somewhere up with the stars and tinsel satellites
I’m down here on this silent night
And you’re somewhere up with the stars and tinsel satellites
