66 Highway Blues
de Dar Williams
Amber called her uncle, said "we're up here for the holiday
Jane and I were having Solstice, now we need a place to stay."
And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on atree
He watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye numberthree
He told his niece, "It's Christmas Eve, I know our life is notyour style."
She said "Christmas is like Solstice and we miss you and it'sbeen a while."
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able
And just before the meal was served hands were held and prayerswere said
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses
The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gonewithout a hitch
Till Timmy turned to Amber and said "is it true that you're awitch ?"
His mom jumped up and said "the pies are burning" and she hit thekitchen
And it was Jane who spoke, she said "it's true your cousin's nota Christian
But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, theworld we share
And you find magic from your God and we find magic everywhere."
so the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able
And where does magic come from ? I think magic's in thelearning
Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies areburning
When Amber tried to do the dishes, her aunt said "really, nodon't bother"
Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father
He thought about his brother, how they hadn't spoken in a year
He thought he'd call him up and say "it's Christmas and yourdaughter's here"
He thought of fathers, sons and brothers, saw his own son tug hissleeve
Saying "can I be a pagan ?" Dad said "we'll discuss it when theyleave"
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able
Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old
And making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold
