crumples of gift wrap
piled on the floor
is this what we went
through the trouble all for
the party’s moved on
the house is still
and new year is coming
arrive it will
the tree has to come down
the lights be put away
and i have got to live
an ordinary day
the gingerbread house
gets thrown in the trash
christmas it comes
and goes in a flash
for a brief while
there was hope in the air
but there’s no sign of that
left anywhere
the tree has to come down
the lights be put away
and i have got to live
an ordinary day
