The nights have long-drawn in And I must be dying My son Joseph is here Wind whips the windows, we all play our part Fold me in a memory deep in your heart My face will start to fade
Only clear in dreams
The echo of my voice But my blood runs in your vein Once I was the picture and then I was the frame Now I'm broken, bereft in all but name When it's time to take that ride I'm ready now Lay me down one last time I'm crossing over to the other side I'm crossing over to the other side ♪ It's Christmastime again I'll stay as long as I can Life always finds a way I will be gone, there's always another day We teach them nothing, they learn from everything we do Someday in the mirror, they're standing right there too When it's time to take that ride I'm ready now Lay me down one last time I'm crossing over to the other side I'm crossing over to the other side I'm crossing over to the other side
