lyrics

Another birthday that's absorbed
by all the festive heralding of Christmas
The childhood of my mother
Borne by one and raised by several more
Despite all the doting
The little girl was left all but forgotten
… On December 24

She turned away and closed the door
On pain that threatened to return each Christmas
The memories were lost 
in the pockets of the winter coat she wore
And when snow started falling 
Her hands would reach for warmth and she’d remember 
… December 24

Spring brought all its colour
And summer brought its warmth
The fall, anticipation of the evergreen 
And trimmings found at Christmas
But all that can wait
… today’s December 24
