Hawksley Workman - Merry Christmas (I Love You) lyrics

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
