BELLS ON THE BRINE

um... PIRATES! ... Bells on the brine and frost on the mast Lanterns swing slow, shadows go past Stars hang low like tinsel and wire The sea hums carols through salt and fire O hear how the night keeps time Every wave in three, in time Roll the bells, let the cold wind sing RING, RING,, CHRISTMAS IN! Stomp the deck, feel the tide roll in RING, RING, CHRISTMAS IN! Roll the bells, let the cold wind sing RING, RING, CHRISTMAS IN! Holly and rope on a salt-scarred rail Sugar and spice in the winter gale We toast the year as the clocks swing wide Three beats to the wave, three beats to the tide O feel how the night swings free Every heart in one-two-three Roll the bells, let the cold wind sing RING, RING, CHRISTMAS IN! Stomp the deck, feel the tide roll in RING, RING, CHRISTMAS IN! Snowlight falling, soft and slow Every heart begins to glow Hold this moment, let it stay Peace is only one song away A way ... Easy now, good folks listenin’. Don’t go gettin’ used to that voice. She’s just passin’ through our deck Against her better judgment. So enjoy the song while it lasts. Christmas is generous… But we are not. Ring, ring, Christmas, ring Ring, ring, don’t, ask, things Roll the bells, let the cold wind sing RING, RING, CHRISTMAS IN! Storm or calm, we circle in RING, RING, CHRISTMAS IN! Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring
