TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA LYRICS - Ornament

"Ornament"



There is an ornament

Lost inside the night

There on a Christmas tree

With a thousand lights



No one can see her

She's standing all alone



Somewhere she glistens where no one can see



I don't believe I can say what had happened

All of those words that we put into play

No longer matter, I should have known that then

I just know you're far away



On this Christmas day

On this Christmas day

On this Christmas...



Somewhere the wind

Carves moments in the snow



And if he sees her

He never lets it show

He just drifts behind her

Erasing every step



Tinsel and garland are whispered through trees



I don't believe I can say what had happened

All of those words that we put into play

No longer matter, I should have known that then

I just know you're far away



On this Christmas day

On this Christmas day

On this Christmas...



Come, Christmas

Stay, Christmas

Watch over her this day

Keep her

Protect her

From harm now in every way



Shelter her

Gently

There in your arms she'll be

Until the day

When you

Bring her back home to me



There is an ornament lost inside the night



AFTER HE HAD HEARD THE PRAYER

THE ANGEL GENTLY SET IT FREE

AND FOLLOWED IT TO THE FATHER'S CHILD

IN A FAR AWAY CITY



AND THERE THE GIRL IN DESPERATION

WAS SEARCHING THROUGH THE SKY

FOR A STAR THAT SHE COULD WISH UPON

BUT STARS WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY



AND THE ONLY LIGHT THAT SHE COULD SEE

THERE SHINING ALL ALONE

WAS A NEON SIGN ON AN OLD BAR

AND SO ON THIS, SHE WISHED SHE WAS HOME
