lyrics

The day before Christmas
I saw the small car jump the light,
Crash into the tree -
I wish I felt more...

But it has been one of those years
And I just wanna get home
There are still corners of the house
I haven't sung in, danced in
And I live where I stand

Yeah it has been one of those years
And I just wanna get home
There are still corners of the house I don't know

The girl in the raincoat can see you
Wishing you weren’t here, stomping like a child
A tantrum to prize

Laden with parcels and suitcases
Train station taxi queue waiting
Scarf round her face from the biting wind
Dreaming of hibernating

Watching the crowds, feeling at best a ghost
Not caring for angels in lights
Chewing the scenery ‘til happy hour
Find someone to sweeten their nights

The day before Christmas
I saw the small car stop in time -
All was serene, everything’s fine
