Never Needed Christmas More

These days I just want to stay in bed
Curled up with my dogs
Seems no matter how much sleep I get
Each day's an awful slog

And the kitchen's dark and freezing
Makes my back and fingers ache
And every cup of coffee's cold
However much I make

And it's not like it's the first time
Sure I've felt like this before
But I have never needed Christmas more

And a job that used to love me
Is now pushing me away
It's just stress and struggling overtime
Through these happy holidays

And the reporters on the TV
Just keep adding up the score
Of the dead and those still dying
In this year's holy war

And it's not like it's the first time
Sure I've felt like this before
But I have never needed Christmas more

So give me innocence and miracles
Give me ornaments and lights
Give me mistletoe and stockings
Give me silent, holy nights

And bring the Messiah and Nativity
Bring the Grinch and Charlie Brown
Give me candy canes and eggnog
Please let Santa come to town

'Cause it's not like it's the first time
Sure I've felt like this before
But I have never needed Christmas more

about

Paul Heilker Blacksburg, Virginia

I'm a guitar player, singer, writer, and teacher from Blacksburg, Virginia, by way of Chicago, Fort Worth, Fort Collins, and Wantagh, Long Island.

My dad was a music teacher who insisted that there was good music (and shit) in every genre. Hence, my tastes are pretty eclectic, but I am partial to the well-crafted song, whatever its origins.
