I Believe in Father Christmas — текст песни (Emerson, Lake and Palmer)

They said there`ll be snow at Christmas
They said there`ll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the VIRGIN BIRTH
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
AND EYES full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
`Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
`Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there`ll be snow at Christmas
They said there`ll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
