The Long Year Lyrics

Riding in the backseat of the family car

No one in here's talking, I look at the stars

The radio is playing low

"The Little Drummer Boy," you know

Grandma greets me with a smile across her face

But when she thinks I've turned and looked the other way

I see the worry retake hold

And everybody looks so cold

It's been a long year for Mom and Dad

I don't know why it got so bad

It's been a long year for Mom and Dad

I'll sit and be still

And hope that it will pass by

Snow is falling now, I'm told we have to go

I don't want to leave, but I'm not in control

I was never taught to pray

But tonight I might try it anyway

It's been a long year for Mom and Dad

I don't know why it got so bad

It's been a long year for Mom and Dad

I'll sit and be still

And hope that it will pass by
