Calling On Mary Lyrics - Aimee Mann

I heard the sidewalk Santa say: 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

Salvation's coming cheap today 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

I searched the skyline for a star 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

And baby I wondered where you are 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

'Cause comfort's not possible when 

You look past the joy to the end 

Calling on Mary is voluntary 

Unless you're alone like me 

If there's a star above, then it can look like love 

When they light up the Christmas tree 

When I was young I couldn't see 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

All that my true love gave to me 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

She offered sight to the blind 

But I'm not the miracle kind 

Calling on Mary is voluntary 

Unless you're alone like me 

If there's a star above, then it can look like love 

When they light up the Christmas tree 

And to all the lost souls down below: 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

What's one more drifter in the snow? 

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas 

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! 

If there's a star above, then it can look like love 

When they light up the Christmas tree 

If there's a star above, then it can look like love 

When they light up the Christmas tree
