Christmas Day lyrics

Artist  : Jim White 
Song : Christmas Day



 Send "Christmas Day" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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
