Tim Baker - Christmas Rose Lyrics

You say you wanna just get outta town
No old man gonna track you down
But no matter what you do (no matter what you do)
He'll be finding you (he'lll be finding you)

You say all their smiles are too wide
The room's too warm, the lights are too bright
But no matter what you do (no matter what you do)
They will shine on you (they will shine on you

Here they come - and soon enough
Your heart will grow - let it unfold
Like a Christmas rose

You try to stop a bell from ringing
You try to stop a choir boy from singing
Well no matter what you do (no matter what you do)
They'll be getting through (they'll be getting through)

You don't have to buy the toys that they sell
Don't have to buy the stories they tell
Cause no matter what you do (no matter what you do)
They believe in you (they believe in you)

Let them come - soon enough
Your heart will grow - let it unfold
Like a Christmas rose - there is a poison root
And despite the cold - it will bloom
Like a Christmas rose

And if you dig down real deep
You'll find a child trying to sleep
In the frozen ground there is seed
There in the seed there is a dream

Let it come - soon enough
It will unfold - like a Christmas rose
There's a poison root - and despite the cold
It will bloom - like a Christmas rose
