Текст (слова) песни: David Wilcox - Evergreen No More
from Unreleased ..............................................
The joke`s on the Christmas tree, New Year`s is here The king of the living room`s out on his ear You take back the gifts that you laid at his feet And you drag the old tannebaum out to the street
We took back the star that he thought was his crown We packed up in papers his bright-colored gown The lights and the ornaments back on the shelf His majesty now can take of himself
Chorus: And it`s nay, nay, nay never Nay nay never no more Shall he stay green forever He`s evergreen no more
In a ditch by the roadside he dies like a dog What once was the Christmas tree now is a log Broken brown branches half-buried in snow Are bones of a hero one Christmas ago
Chorus
But if you look closely, it`s easy to see A tangle of tinsel is caught in the tree That one badge of honour is all that remains Of those glorious Christmas tree evergreen days
