Description

The Christmas lights are all lit up

Everywhere throughout the town

Now climbing off the bus, it´s cold

He wears the same old frown.

Trudging through the night, he walks

To his address alone

Lights twinkle now in gardens

Warmth glows in every home.

At his gate the street lamp´s out

No moon, not even stars

His house abandoned in pitch black

Looks so dismal in the dark.

His decorations long ago

All boxed and packed away

Now old and very out of date

They´d once seen better days.

Why should he make the effort,

With Lights and Christmas tree

When no one´s there to share it with

No one else will see.

So he closes out the world again

Bolts up his old front door

Till the festive season´s well and gone

And he can go on as before.
