Crowded markets streets alive

Laughter echoes but I just survive

The red and green lights shine so bright

But they cant warm this cold inside

The city glows all through the night

I stop at every Christmas tree a fleeting sight

I wish it could hear my silent plea

But shadows grow smaller just leaving me

Under each tree theres a story told

Couples smile in pictures hearts of gold

I walk by fast a fleeting face

Afraid to linger afraid of space

Mom calls says Warm soup is a must

Even alone you need someone to trust

The carols play about love and cheer

But Im a wanderer lost out here

The city glows all through the night

I stop at every Christmas tree a fleeting sight

I wish it could hear my silent plea

But shadows grow smaller just leaving me

The candle burns out in the chilly breeze

I take a breath my heart unease

No tree can belong to someone like me

But Ill walk onthis night will set me free
