Andrew Bird - Christmas In April Lyrics

I wanted to hold you and keep you with me this eve
You're my darling and I'm what you need
I wanted to whisper sweet words of comfort in your ear
No more sorrow and no more fear

Oh, my love
When will you know?
If we can meet
Under the mistletoe

Yeah, I'm writing this song about Christmas in April this year
So I'm not sure what to think about that
And I'm hoping these words don't ring so hollow when you're here
They say, "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"

Fits and starts, upset applecarts
Conspiring to keep us apart

I wanted to hold you and keep you with me this year
You're my darling and I want you near
I'm hoping these words don't ring so hollow when you're here
They say, "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"
And may the autumn winds blow away all our fear
I said, "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"
