Lenny Kaye - Santa’s Knee

Won't you come here and sit on old Santa's knee?
Tell me what you're hoping to find under the tree
And I'll try to make all your wishings come true
That's the spirit of Christmas that I give to you

Each year at this time I put on the suit
The white beard and red hat, the buckle and boots
Stuff a pillow down around my waist
A Jolly laugh, Ho Ho Ho! and I'm taking my place
Johnny wants a pony, Susie wants a horse
I nod and I twinkle and I tell them "of course"
If they're good or they're bad it's not for me to say
I believe all God's creatures should have their own way

Won't you come here and sit on old Santa's knee?
Tell me what you're hoping to find under the tree
And I'll try to make all your wishes come true
That's the spirit of Christmas that I give to you

At night I go home to the far side of town
It's a quiet room where no one's around
There's a small tree in the corner, a couple of lights
Mistletoe unkissed, not a present in sight
When it comes to the Eve I stay up too late
Have a drink or three and contemplate fate
Hang up a stocking and hope St. Nick arrives
Bringing magic and wonder to brighten my life

Won't you come here and sit on old Santa's knee?
Tell me what you're hoping to find under the tree
And I'll try to make all your wishes come true
That's the spirit of Christmas that I give to you

Cedar Sparks - Gathering Song

Sometimes you feel like a pauper
Worth more dead than alive
Sometimes you feel you can lasso the moon
And pull it right out of the sky

So here's to the lost fallen angels
With their folded and broken down wings
We're all second class but we're learning our way
Together now we can all sing

Merry Christmas to you gathered with us
Merry Christmas to you all alone
Merry Christmas to you in the house on the hill
And to you in your tumble down home

No man can say he's a failure
He who's surrounded by friends
Every man's life touches so many lives
It's the love in the hand that he lends

Merry Christmas to you gathered with us
Merry Christmas to you all alone
Merry Christmas to you in the house on the hill
And to you in your tumble down home

Merry Christmas to you gathered with us
Merry Christmas to you who are gone
Merry Christmas to you in the house on the hill
And to you in your tumble down home
