Tinsel In The River - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Around this time last winter

I noticed how you smiled

At the office party dinner

Around colleagues you don’t like

Like the glitter ball and music

You decorate the truth

And I guess we fell in love

Cause I’m not that different from you

What a hell of a year

I was all in

Then you disappeared

Snow falls, you’re not around

I was getting used to a quiet town

Now here comes Christmas, to tear me down

Now here comes Christmas, to tear me down

Now I’m not one for wishing

On a star so far away

But they’ve made the city glisten

With lights you can’t escape

Well there’s tinsel in the river

And the world is on the piss

Still I’d carol sing forever

If you turned up on December 25th

What a hell of a year

I was all in

Then you disappeared

Snow falls, you’re not around

I was getting used to a quiet town

What a hell of a time

To have you back on my mind

Took a while but I found

A little piece with you not around

Now here comes Christmas to tear me down

Now here comes Christmas to tear me down
