Leslie Stevens – Depression, Descent lyrics
When I stood by you
By the Christmas tree
Oh, your words were ugly
You said death was on the marquee
And you meant for yourself
You did not mean for me
And happiness came and went
Depression, descent
So I drove you down
South to Mexico
And the moon was like a peach
And the beach was white as snow
We were waves in the water
Flying high and the tide was low
When then New Year came and went
Depression, descent
We're watching Johnny Cash on the tv
He says when you love someone you want for them to see
That when they're hit you're hurt
And when they're cut you bleed
They arrive, cut down
The Christmas trees
I can't write another word
About what you meant to me
Though I'm sure I will
For I am here
And you are free
Still I wish that you had stayed to see
Everything you're missing
And how much you're missed by me
Still there's something in the feeling
That love must be a light
For I can feel it
Even in the darkness of this night
We're all imprisoned by ourselves
Though there's suffering in sight
Still love comes near and we're free
You left so many gifts under that tree
Unopened gifts under that cut-down tree
By the Christmas tree
Oh, your words were ugly
You said death was on the marquee
And you meant for yourself
You did not mean for me
And happiness came and went
Depression, descent
So I drove you down
South to Mexico
And the moon was like a peach
And the beach was white as snow
We were waves in the water
Flying high and the tide was low
When then New Year came and went
Depression, descent
We're watching Johnny Cash on the tv
He says when you love someone you want for them to see
That when they're hit you're hurt
And when they're cut you bleed
They arrive, cut down
The Christmas trees
I can't write another word
About what you meant to me
Though I'm sure I will
For I am here
And you are free
Still I wish that you had stayed to see
Everything you're missing
And how much you're missed by me
Still there's something in the feeling
That love must be a light
For I can feel it
Even in the darkness of this night
We're all imprisoned by ourselves
Though there's suffering in sight
Still love comes near and we're free
You left so many gifts under that tree
Unopened gifts under that cut-down tree
