Juniper berries on a christmas tree
Are little drops of you and me
Painful sprinkles of frozen blush
On a background of greenwood brush
Like tears that fall on my bedsheets
In an imitation of what my mind repeats
The berries make the lights shine so much brighter
They cast an ice-cold glow that only another fighter
Will pick up and see as they truly are
A gingerbread crumb trail that led so very far
From where I wanted to go and you led me astray
But in my heart still the Christmas carols play
And all I want for Christmas is you
