Christmas Eve In A Bar Called The Last Stand Lyrics

It was Christmas Eve in a powdered town

Snowflakes danced as the world slowed down

Gregor sat with his hat pulled low

In a bar called The Last Stand, quiet as snow

Whiskey glass in his weary hand

The air was thick, like time had been damned

Arthur behind the bar, a ghost of his past

Wiping down glasses that never held fast

Oh, Christmas at the Last Stand Bar

Where broken souls gather from near and far

The lights are dim, but the stories shine

Lonely hearts meeting on borrowed time

She walked in with frost in her hair

Ordered tea like she didn't belong there

Alone on Christmas? she softly said

Gregor nodded, his spirit half-dead.

Happiness on Christmas, that's just a show

A tale for movies where the endings glow

But her smile held a truth, simple and small

A spark of warmth in the bar's cold pall

Oh, Christmas at the Last Stand Bar

Where broken souls gather from near and far

The lights are dim, but the stories shine

Lonely hearts meeting on borrowed time

The piano sang in a minor key

A melody whispered from history

In walked Werner, shoulders bent

Carrying stories his labor had spent

The girl ran in, her face aglow

Grandfather, why'd you leave in the snow

Her hug broke the silence, brought life to the room

A child's light chasing away the gloom

The bar came alive, as the piano played

Ghosts of their sadness began to fade

People spoke in voices low

Sharing moments they'd never show

Gregor smiled, his glass half-full

The weight of the night no longer cruel

He turned to her, a fleeting glance

Maybe next year, a chance for romance

Oh, Christmas at the Last Stand Bar

Where broken souls gather from near and far

The lights are dim, but the stories shine

Lonely hearts meeting on borrowed time

Midnight struck, the bar grew still

The stars outside cast their gentle will

Arthur and the pianist locked the door

Leaving behind what had been before

The city slept under a silent night

But a spark remained, a flickering light

For in the dark, they'd found a way

To make Christmas theirs, in their own way
