The Third of December

from Christingle by Ben Calvert

/

lyrics

The 3rd of December, the streets shine white, red and green
Pennies in your pocket to buy all the things that you see
They’re calling all the good people round to the steeples of late
While I’m building new churches to hide great injustice in case

I do not want to believe that you lied

Walking down York Road the man with the monkey is there
He’s a believer and he runs a show ‘cause he cares
He writes the titles for all of these songs that I sing
While the zombie pass by like in paintings of David Wilkins

And I see frowns upon their faces.
People make the places
Councils on our cases and I don’t know
Years upon their faces
People make the places
Councils on our cases and I don’t know

Oh, the snow is becoming me.
Oh, the snow is becoming me.
Oh, the snow is becoming me.
Oh Lord, the snow is becoming me.

The 3rd of December, the snow falls and I am unseen.
