Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in your tender care
And fit us for heaven, to live with you there
Sufjan Stevens on Away in a Manger
Theyre all so depressing, muses Stevens. But I especially hate Away In A Manger. Its just so maudlin and sentimental, at least the proper commercial songs dont have any pretence about them. I mean, Ive written a lot of sentimental songs but I like to feel Christmas music can be intelligent and emotional and mysterious, and I think the pervasive culture has destroyed that, its more about economics.
