If It Wasn't for the Night Paroles

My thin coat against the chill
When the light in me was gone
And my winter house was stilled

When I grieved for all I?d made
Out of all I had to give
On the eve of Christmas day
With no reason left to live

Even then somehow in the bitter wind and cold
Impossibly strong I know
Even then a bloom as tender as a rose
Was breaking through the snow
In the dark night of the soul
In the dark night of the soul

If it wasn't for the babe
Lying helpless on the straw
There would be no Christmas day
And the night would just go on The seed of hope will grow
