Christmas Skies - Thin White Rope

When Christmas skies are clear and the stars come down

And prop up the rooftops of the town

They are in the heart of Willy Joe

And take him to the boy he was many years ago

Tonight he walks through starlight

To his cabin on the hill

Weighing the thoughts of Christmas

Against some lonesome time to kill

When Christmas skies are clear and stars come down

Like the snow that’s never rested on this forsaken ground

They travel to the heart of Willy Joe

And take him to the boy he was many years ago

Tonight he walks through starlight

To his cabin in the sky

Singing songs for Christmas

And for the folks he left behind
