lyrics

I only did what was needed
I was just trying to spread joy
I was a fool for believing
The world could change with just one toy

It's a long day without you here
It's a long day, deer

I've lost all sight of the reasons
Fame and recognition I've chased
Are you enduring the seasons
Puffy the world is a cruel place

It's a long day without you here
It's a long day, deer

(Spooky chanting)

In the event of my failure
Please look on me with sympathetic eyes
I'm a man with a sleigh, I'm no saviour
And I'm just a symptom of these troubled times

It's a long day without you here

(Repeat until sad)
