The Indigo Girls have a Christmas album out. I only bought a couple songs, one of which was "There's Still My Joy." I discovered this song through an Oleta Adams xmas album, and it's SO touching. The Indigo Girls version is on youtube so now I can share with you. Yay! Highly recommended.

* Roberta Flack (I think the song originated on this album)
I took my tree down to the shore
The garland, and the silver star
To find my peace, and grieve no more
To heal this place inside my heart
On every branch I laid some bread
And hungry birds filled up the sky
They rang like bells around my head
They sang my spirit back to life
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
For all my tears, for what I've lost
There's still my joy
There's still my joy
For Christmas day
The snow comes down on empty sand
There's tinsel moonlight on the waves
My soul was lost, but here I am
So this must be amazing grace
One tiny child can change the world
One shining light can show the way
Beyond my tears for what I've lost
There's still my joy
There's still my joy
For Christmas day
There's still my joy for Christmas day
