Eve

I see the snowflakes on my window

From the apartment next door I hear the echo of a ho, ho, ho,

Who we all know.

Ain’t no sign of an eastern star’s glow

Just a streetlight’s buzzing bulb, as it blows

And on this 21st century Christmas eve

There ain’t no wise men here only me

And on this 21st century Christmas eve

It takes a great faith to still believe.

I see a row of No Vacancy signs

The only virgin that I know now is an airline, we all fly

In my mind I hear the footsteps of King Herod’s magi

And as the wind starts to blow I wonder how many people sleep outside, tonight

And it’s a 21st century Christmas eve

The houses are lit but we still can’t see

And it’s a 21st century Christmas eve

It takes a great faith to still believe, I still believe, I still believe.
