Another Christmas Lyrics - Blood Oranges In The Snow - Over The Rhine

Another Christmas is drifting in softly 

Like the ghost of my innocence lost 

And the tree in the corner burns brightly 

I turned all the other lights off 

I think back on my life in this stillness 

I consider the days of my youth 

And the moments I find myself willing 

To surrender and just tell the truth 

'Cause I've committed every sin 

And each one leaves a different scar 

It's just the world I'm livin' in 

And I could use a guiding star 

I hope that I can still believe 

The Christ child holds a gift for me 

Am I able to receive 

Peace on earth this Christmas 

This old world so sweet and so bitter 

Seeds of violence we humans have sown 

And these weapons we still love to handle 

May our children have strength to let go 

When we look at the stars after midnight 

Sparkling rumors of redemption at play 

Can we still hear the echoes of angels 

Who were singing that first Christmas day 

'Cause we've committed every sin 

And each one leaves a different scar 

It's just the world we're living in 

And we could use a guiding star 

I hope that we can still believe 

The Christ child holds a gift for us 

Are we able to receive 

Peace on earth this Christmas 

Hark the herald angels sing 

Glory to the newborn king 

Peace on earth and mercy mild 

God and sinners reconciled 

Joyful all ye nations rise 

Join the triumph of the skies 

With angelic hosts proclaim 

Peace on earth this Christmas
