Elizabeth Rose on Christmas morn The sound of German bombs - the air-raid horn Her mother longs for yester-years As she sits all alone, with her fears A pale, ten-year old girl standing by the fire From outside in the falling snow, she hears a choir But 'peace on earth' seems like a distant memory Christmas Day, 1940 Elizabeth Rose on Christmas Day Looking on as her family play Slade and Wizzard on the radio Unwrapping presents as they go A pale, ten-year old girl standing by the tree Her mother's pulling crackers with a glass of G&T And a cousin rides his brand new BMX out in the street Christmas Day, 1973 Elizabeth Rose on Christmas Eve A time for reflection, a time to grieve 18th December her mother passed away And they will bury her at 2pm today A pale, ten-year old girl standing by the car A funeral procession, a Christmas star Reminiscing relatives, mistletoe and wine Christmas Eve, 1989 Elizabeth Rose, forever young, will never age But as the years roll into decades and generations fade The memories of her family become a muddled haze In the home where, sixty years ago, she lived her fleeting days Who is this couple sitting in her parents' chairs? Celebrating Christmas in a house that isn't theirs The pale, ten-year old girl looks sadly from the door She'll haunt their Christmas days forevermore She'll haunt their Christmas days forevermore
