Christmas Day

歌詞

Where in the world did you come from my dear? Did some mysterious voice tell you I'd still be here? I bought this ticket to Mobile, but I been stranded all day P.a. said the bus broke down ten miles away from the station. [Chorus] So seldom a door, so seldom a key, so seldom a hit like the hurt you put on me. But seldom comes happiness without the pain of the devil in the details Since I saw the smile on your face As I was crying in a Greyhound station on Christmas Day, in 1998. The burden of love is the fuel of bad grammar. You stutter and stammer--what a bitch to convey the crux of the matter, When the words you must utter are hopelessly tangled In the memories and scars you show no one. [Chorus] I remember quite clearly, a bad Muzak version of James Taylor's big hit, Called "Fire and Rain" was playing as you crouched down and tearfully kissed me, And I thought, "Damn, what good fiction I will mold from this terrible pain." [Chorus] Amazing grace, how sweet the smile upon the face I never thought I'd see you again Especially here in this Greyhound station On Christmas Day In 1998.
