Winter Songs

Currently playing on my ipod, downloaded from a new cd: The Hotel Cafe Presents… Winter Songs
My mood: subdued

Winter Song
by Ingrid Michaelson feat. Sara Bareilles

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea

My voice, a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love…

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told

They say we’re buried far
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
‘Cause you’re not where you belong
Inside my arms

I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way

I’ll be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
‘Cause you’re not where you belong
Inside my arms

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea

My love, a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive?

The Heartache Can Wait

By Belinda Carlile

You’re talking about leaving
It’s right about Christmas time
Thinking about moving on
I think I might die inside

I’m thinking about years gone by
I’m thinking about church at midnight
I’m thinking about letting go
I think that might finally be alright

But this is where we shine

Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I’m offering if love is not enough
Then stay with me because
The heartache can wait

It’s not about hanging on
It’s making my deal with God
If I could call one last truce
We’ve given it all we’ve got

Then I’m gonna catch my breath
And make it a long December
If we’ve got nothing left
This could be worth remembering
With a smile upon my face

Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I’m offering if love is not enough
Then stay with me because

Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I’m offering if love is not enough
Then stay with me because
The heartache can wait

Mistletoe

By Colbie Caillat

…
Fake plastic Mistletoe
Wrap me in a great big bow
And tear me apart

It’s Christmas time
So open up the flood gates
Tell me that you’ll be late
And rip me apart

Cause you say that, you say that things will be alright
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time…

Cold
Icing on the walkways
Slip in to the games we play
We’re falling apart

A great big house
That’s made out of ginger bread
Crumbles to the ground
We’re breaking apart

But you said that, you said that things would be alright
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

And I’ve been waiting for you to come
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone
And I just want you to come home

Waiting for you to come
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone
And I just want you to come home

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
You’re not here to keep me safe and warm
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time again
And all your friends, all your friends
Are smiling
It’s Christmas time
