Lyrics
The bar is dressed for Christmas, with coloured lights Renee the landlady looks so nice tonight And the lights flickering, like her smile And she still wears her hair in the 1940s style She prefers it that way, though it's turned from red to grey All things change The only one who looks the same Is the fairy on the Christmas tree Big Eddie and his songs are growing old The piano player blames his fingers Says they're freezing cold, and the tinsel hardly shines On the faded paper chains that limply hang in lines With the laughter in the air that is breathed and that is shared But people change The only one who stays the same Is the fairy on the Christmas tree Outside by the wall where snails have crawled Leaving tinsel trails shining in the moonlight pale Lovers promising nothing's ever gonna change The things they share, breathing promises Of cloudy vapor disappearing in the frosty Christmas air
