"Go To Sleep (The Night Before Xmas)"
You are love and good cheer
You are the reason I'm here
You are lovely and strong
You are the stars and the song
I love you
Sweet dreams
Oh, my child
Go to sleep
We are confused and cold
We are sometimes alone
But we are perfect tonight
We keep the warmth and the light

"Drive To The Lights"
I could escape, but where would I go?
My world is here, and it's all I know
The circle moves and turns on itself
Everything for you and nothing left for anyone else
Maybe I'll go and drive to the lights
Maybe I'll take my place in the stars tonight
When was theft no longer a sin?
And why must I end for you to begin?
Death is too good for ghosts like you
Because you'll only die after I'm through

"Kindness"
Harmony and history
Oh, today is not your day
Make a friend a better day
Oh, today is not your day
There's a trail, the loss of town
Oh, today is not your day
An aside: we'll kick the tale
Oh, today is not your day
Shorts sing, sparkling
Oh, today is not your day
You're family, part of me
Oh, today is not your day
Yr honesty breaks me
Oh, today is not your day
Edge of knife, I will see you
Because today is not your day
Kindness
It comes soon enough
Soon enough it comes
It comes soon enough
Soon enough it comes

"Joy"
Get up and learn to dance again
Stand up and look me in the eye
Sit up and learn to sing along
Stand up and sing again
I've got joy in my heart
Driving down to Carolina
Late December early morning
Sneaking food / I'm already full
Sneaking out the open garage door
Pianos Backfire
Your breath is making me tired
Pianos Backfire
Your friends are making me tired
I've got joy in my heart

"Listen For The Bells"
Listen for the bells coming down the lane
Breaking through the air
They're coming home on this day
This sky is high and blue
The air is low and cold
The ringing that you hear is the songs of the dead and the old
Do you hear the bells ringing through the town?
They echo through the homes
And everyone who isn't with you now
The laughter in the kitchen
The ghosts in the hall
The echo who sits beside you is the only one who ever loved you at all
Listen
Listen for the bells
Listen for the bells
Take comfort in the ring
When the home is slow and cold the bells will give you everything
And when the bells go silent turn to heaven above
And know you're not alone
And you will always be loved

"Brothers And Sisters"
And you still appear
In photographs, my dear
Pages old and worn
Yellowed, aged, and torn
And you are still in mind
With every Christmastime
But the years have gathered fast
Please let this season pass
I must forget you
I must go away
I must leave you all behind

"Time To Go Home"
It's time to go home
It's time to go home
It's time to leave this world alone
It's time to go home
It's time for goodnight
It's time for goodnight
It's time to leave you in the light
It's time for goodnight
Take the wonder from me
Take the wonder and the light
Take the wonder from me
Take the light that once burned in my eyes
