Lyrics for Song: Christmas Day
Lyrics for Album: No Such Place [2005]
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.
So seldom a door...so seldom a key.
..so seldom a lock like the love between you and 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. 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. 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." So seldom a door.
..so seldom a key...so seldom a gift like the gift
you gave 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.
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
