christmas day (from "searching for the wrong-eyed jesus") - jim white lyrics
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’ve been stranded all day
pa 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 come happiness
without the pain
but the devil in the details
since i saw the smile on your face
as i was crying
in the greyhound station
on christmas day
in nineteen-nintey eight
face as i was crying
in the greyhound station
on christmas day
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
the burden of love is
the fuel of bad grammar
you stutter and stammer
what a b-tch to convey
the crooks of the matter
on the words you must utter
are hopelessly dangled
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
a devil in the details
since i saw the smile on your face
as i was crying
in the greyhound station
on christmas day
in nineteen-ninety eight
face as i was crying
in the greyhound station
on christmas day
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
eyy…
(in nineteen-ninety eight)
(in nineteen-ninety eight)
(in nineteen-ninety eight)
i remember quite clearly
a bad music version
of james taylor’s big hit
called “fire & rain”
was playing as you crouched down
tearfully kissed me
and i thought down what good fiction
i would move from this terrible pain
so seldom a door
seldom a key
seldom a gift
like the gift you gave me
but seldom comes happiness
without the pain
a devil in the details
since i saw the smile on your face
as i was crying
in the greyhound station
on christmas day
hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
face as i was crying
in the greyhound station
on christmas day
hey-ey-yeah…
amazing grace
how sweet the smile
upon the face
i never thought
i’d see you again
especially here
in this greyhound station
(greyhound station)
christmas day
(greyhound station
on christmas day)
in nineteen-ninety eight
(christmas day)
nineteen-ninety eight
(in nineteen-ninety eight)
christmas day…
