lyrics

Snow Falling In Aachen

Christmas has come, a dark dank December, my heart is tattered, as Christ is reborn
Christmas has come, my soul is battered, as each day without you I die with the dawn
Christmas has come, cruel clouds have spoken, gutters are running, a kingdom of rain
Heaven is falling, the rain-fall outspoken, telling my heart we’ll not meet again.

Chorus
And is the snow still falling in Aachen? Or is the sky as blue as your eyes?
Did you ever truly love me? Or were your words just alibis?
And is the snow still falling in Aachen? Does Orla still laugh & play?
Is your Christmas happy in Aachen while I’m so lonely on this Christmas Day?
While I’m so lonely on this Christmas Day?

Christmas has come, winter's a dancer, London's no answer, its pouring god’s tears
Christmas has come, there's Dancer & Prancer, as I once again recall all our years
Christmas has come, the thunder comes crying, the cold of this city fills me with dread
I lie in my bed, as I hear the sky dying, as movies of you play again in my head.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Christmas has come, they’re praying to statues, singing to Jesus, I’m colder than stone
I’m thinking of Aachen, of you & your lover, I’m sad & I’m drunk & I’m too much alone
Christmas has come, London's in grieving, this is no way for a good heart to live
It seems my life stopped the day of your leaving when I had so much love to share &
to give.

Chorus
