I Took Some Time For Christmas Belle and Sebastian

I took some time for Christmas
Thought about the Lord
Left my work behind me
I laid down my silver sword
My workmates they were puzzled
They're trying to make a deal
You're greasy and you dream too much
I guess that's how I feel
I know
That's exactly how I feel

I took some time for Christmas
The people rushed about
[?] on television running in and out the house
When [?] she went the other way
I know that Jesus sat with her when it was Christmas Day

I took some time for Christmas
Thought about the Star
I thought about the journey of the Wise Men from afar
I'd give up Christmas Presents for my life and so would you
Travel along behind the Kings and get a better view
What I'd do
I'd do anything and so would you

I fought my way through anger
[?] my hate
I listened to the blackbirds sing when it was very late
Through all this confusion
Leave beyond our care
I heard my Saviour calling me when it was Christmas Day
