No Christmas in Aleppo

There is no Christmas there in Aleppo As a matter of fact, there is no one there Sitting on my couch and watching the videos A can of coca-cola in my hand Maybe just one drink was all I demand Somebody was waiting for something we didn't know Some kind of joke or some kind of miracle Um... The story's never been told Um... The story was way too old Um... How could we ever know? The place we never went, the child we never met Were on the news again, my coffee turned cold The gunman's dead now, war hasn't come yet The blood won't spill on me, at least I was told Um... The story has been told Um... The story has been too old Um... How could we possibly know? Um... Buy something tomorrow Um... There's ain't any snow Um... Have to close my windows Turn off the radio There is no Christmas there in Aleppo As a matter of fact, there is no one there Sitting on my couch and watching the videos A can of coca-cola in my hand
