Raise your gla** and praise the Lord Another virgin baby's born Hail the King who's yet to come Sound the horn and beat the drum Where am I supposed to sleep tonight? My tears they stung, you cut the light Through snow I ran on quiet streets Down rows of perfect families The loneliest time of year has come The loneliest time of year has come The loneliest time of the year has come When morning comes I look at you Your eyes are red, your veins are blue When all you drink turns into dirt Do you realize how much I hurt? The loneliest time of year has come The loneliest time of year has come
The loneliest time of the year... Now it's my turn too To go where you've been too As the snow steals the last echo from the ground I hear the wind is now the only friend you've found Cause the memories of a child do not grow old I know this from the stories I've been told You ask if I'll come home this year Your voice so full of hope and fear Will I feel the way you do I guess you thought I never knew But I have felt the pain it brings To be alone It's Christmas coming on The loneliest time of year The loneliest time of year The loneliest time of year has come
