歌詞
[Verse 1]
Everything is cool
Everything's okay
Why, just before last Christmas
My baby went away
[Verse 2]
Across the sea to an island
While the bridges brightly burned
So far away from my land
The valley of the unconcerned
[Verse 3]
I was walkin' down the road, man
Just lookin' at my shoes
When God sent me an angel
Just to chase away my blues
[Verse 4]
I saw a hundred-thousand blackbirds
Just flyin' through the sky
And they seemed to form a teardrop
From a black-haired angel's eye
[Verse 5]
And that tear fell all around me
And it washed my sins away
Now everything is cool
Everything's okay
[Verse 6]
Everything is cool
Everything's okay
Why, just before last Christmas
My baby went away
[Verse 7]
And I find it real surprising
For myself to hear me say
That everything is cool
Everything's okay
[Verse 8]
Everything is cool
Everything's okay
Why, it was just before last Christmas
My baby went away
