Bruce Cockburn Christmas Song Lyrics

Christmas Song Lyrics

Fire-bright faces in winter night A dog in the distance barks The sky speaks in
patterns of starlight The fire replies in sparks 



The stream is a
motionless moment Salmon in the sea swims deep Pregnant with force as a prayer
is Spring in the hard earth sleeps 



Like the snow on the stark
spruce limb Coated with ice, then stripped by wind We melt away and return
again Stronger for the tempering flame Stronger for the Saviour's name.
