From the 1973 Sundown album, a Christmas song that’s sad, but with a comment on the times that haven’t changed much.
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup
She hides her face in her hands for awhile
Says look here child
Your father’s pride was his means to provide
And he’s servin’ three years for that reason
Rows of lights in a circle of steel
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel
Circle of Steel, Gordon Lightfoot
