"Poinsettia"

You are my winter flower; you're my rose that doesn't bloom
You have that cold beauty, poking out from winter's tomb
Your skin is snow; your eyes are steel; your hair is a fallen log
A ruby lip poinsettia leaf, crazy smile snowy fog.
chorus:
What kind of fools are we, that we didn't even try to believe.
Did you get the gift from me? Poinsettia leaf under your Christmas tree.
The tired poinsettia I left on the porch, feels like I do now
I got it just to show you that I can somehow
decorate this place just like anyone else, I really care
Even though the days are cold, the nights so bare
(chorus)
You are my New Year's resolution, my promise to myself
My Macy's storefront window, my santa's little elf
I promise that this winter trip is going to be your last
I'm haunted by this ghost of Christmas nearly past.
(chorus)
