Merry Christmas (i Love You) Lyrics - Singles - Hawksley Workman

if god takes you he leaves 

a huge footprint of love 

and kindness behind 

which is where you once stood 

and i know you're afraid 

to get on the plane 

after what happened that day 

and selfishly i want you here in my way 

but animals come 

and animals go 

but love is just a laundry line 

we hang on until 

we're dried out by the sun 

and when you think your turn is done 

you end up getting dirty 

and it's all again begun 

now words i think are just 

a noisy dirty wind 

makes the trouble we get in 

so why do we speak 

now we made another war 

that's what men are good for 

men with stupid insecurities 

not a lot more 

and satisfied they try 

its written about again 

but who the hell reads history? 

apparently not men 

cause nothing's guaranteed 

except the politics of need 

did the romans see the ship go down 

or were they asleep? 

i shouldn't expect to live 

and i shouldn't expect to die 

but i wouldnt mind being beside you, dear 

on that laundry line to dry 

and for my grandma and brother 

my father and my mother 

and you my sweetest lover 

to you all i will say 

merry christmas i love you 

and god is above you 

merry christmas i love you 

and god is above you 

merry christmas i love you
