I heard the bells ringing
Across the frozen lake
I felt the sun rising
But I've made a lot of mistakes
I saw the lights shining
Like cracks in the old dark sky
I heard the drums drumming
But Only at Christmas time
I heard the bells ringing
From across that frozen lake
I heard the edges curling up
Turning yellow in their frame
I heard the drums drumming on
Forgive me for being so vague
I caught a snowflake on my tongue
And I can't forget the taste
I felt the Earth turning
Beneath my feet, for the first time today
Still haven't realized that
We are just floating in space
Watch my words disappear
Everything it fades away
What are we doing right here?
And will we all be okay?
I'm tired of being too proud
Put my feet back on the ground
I heard the bells ringing
Only at Christmas time
I felt the sun rising up
Only at Christmas time
