Scrooge and Marley
Seven years tonight I lost my only friend
This feeble candlelight it takes me back to then
Your servant look her leave she said sir it's Christmas eve
You didn't die alone t'was I sitting in your home
It was just like us to sit there and say nothing
I didn't take your hand we didn't touch
For this exchange I came to watch
Seven years tomorrow since I fired your old lawyer
He expressed his sorrow he was crying to my horror
But I handled your estate with efficiency and thrift
I took pride in it Jacob you'd consider it a gift
Seven years since yesterday the last time that we spoke
Called me your brother I made a morbid joke
I could smell your fear and you could smell the angel's stalk
Glad I wasn't you that night I whistled as I walked
Jacob Marley why are you so heavy on my mind
This aching heart has rarely been a malady of mine
I see you in the tyrant and the cripple back from war
I see you in the lion on the knocker on my door
This feeble candlelight it takes me back to then
Your servant look her leave she said sir it's Christmas eve
You didn't die alone t'was I sitting in your home
It was just like us to sit there and say nothing
I didn't take your hand we didn't touch
For this exchange I came to watch
Seven years tomorrow since I fired your old lawyer
He expressed his sorrow he was crying to my horror
But I handled your estate with efficiency and thrift
I took pride in it Jacob you'd consider it a gift
Seven years since yesterday the last time that we spoke
Called me your brother I made a morbid joke
I could smell your fear and you could smell the angel's stalk
Glad I wasn't you that night I whistled as I walked
Jacob Marley why are you so heavy on my mind
This aching heart has rarely been a malady of mine
I see you in the tyrant and the cripple back from war
I see you in the lion on the knocker on my door
