lyrics

I like the falling snow, it's sentimental and seasonal.
It warms the spirit so...
Or am I confusing the holidays with the effects of alcohol?

See the people, like ghosts of the night blind to their plight.
Pale, like stone alabaster.
Spare change for the cold, or a shot of pure gold.

I remember when I used to be a bit of a rogue...
Don't give me whiskey, I'm an animal!
But now the year's nearly over, break out the crystal.
"Here's to a merry rock 'n roll!"

See the people, ghosts of the night.
So take me home with you and lay my head in your warm bed.
Will you keep me from harm in your loving arms?
