In addition to River and Face Lift (Joni's own compositions) there have been quite a few cranky Christmas songs over the years, actually. Uh oh, there's almost enough for an album!
STAR OF THE EAST: "Sorrow and grief and lull'd by the light/Thou hope of each mortal, in death's lonely night/...the dark billows roll/Lead us from sin to glory afar I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS: "if only in my dreams." CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU: "White Christmas and I'm blue/Like fireworks with no fuse" CHRISTMAS WON'T BE THE SAME THIS YEAR: "...without her loving arms to hold you so near/I see the lights but they're not for me..." IF IT DOESN'T SNOW ON CHRISTMAS: "How is Santa going to use his sleigh?/In case of rain will there be a train/To speed him on his way?" NO CROWDED EASTERN STREET: "No sound of passing feet/Far to the left and far to the right/The prairie snows spread far and white" WHERE ARE YOU CHRISTMAS: "Why can't I find you?/Why have you gone away?/Where is the laughter you used to bring me?/Why can't I hear the music play?"
