about

A Downstate Darlings original holiday jam for pandemic times....

lyrics

I feel winter creeping in
Don’t know when I’ll see your face again
House so quiet I can hear a pin
All this emptiness is deafening

Won’t be getting on an aeroplane
No celebrating at your parent’s place
living like we’re wrapped in cellophane
I can’t feel you but I feel the pain

Oh, love
Though you won’t be here
I still feel cheer
We hold on, we hold on
Oh, love
the pain, the fear
we’ll shed this year
We hold on, we hold on

Watch the snowflakes hit the windowpane
They dissolve into oblivion
Endless staring at your picture frame
This December just won’t be the same

the loved ones that we love to greet
Your sister’s girlfriend I’m supposed to meet
And though it feels so incomplete
I swear that next year will be twice as sweet

Oh, love
Though you won’t be here
I still feel cheer
We hold on, we hold on
Oh, love
no pain, no fear
this’ll be our year
We hold on, we hold on
