The Most Vulnerable Time of the Year

by Walter Tragert

lyrics

Outside the drugstore
On a warm winter’s day
The Salvation Santa
And her jingle bells play
Could you kindly explain
‘Cause I don’t understand
I’m feeling like Charlie Brown
With no Linus at hand

So for whatever the reason
You ring in the season
There’s one thing that’s painfully clear
It’s the most vulnerable time of the year

On a cold midnight mass
That went on for years
I thumbed through the pages
Of Penney’s and Sears
Like a good Catholic boy
Raised in Ohio
I knelt and I prayed for
A black G.I. Joe

So for whatever the reason
You ring in the season
There’s one thing that’s painfully clear
It’s the most vulnerable time of the year

There’s few broken hearts
Left behind in my trail
Sometimes you just part
Sometimes you just fail
So this year I resolve
To do the best that I can
To be kind and more loving
And a much better man

So for whatever reason
I’ll ring in the season
Like a laughing child with a tear
It’s the most vulnerable time of the year
