The 24th

Simple chords for a simple mind
I wake up at one, it gets dark
At five that's four hours of light
I spend 'em all inside
My head

Life gets away from me
Red dissolves in white
White returns to green
She's praying for a ring
To come on christmas eve
It never will

Unto us a child is born
A cornerstone to rest upon
She's waiting for a ring
To come on new year's eve
It never does
