Flicking through the cards in a railway station
The same old list of cancellations
Snow on the line
Stranding me here
When I wish I was near you

I want to call but they'll be settling down now
An interruption would delay the countdown
It's hard enough
When they're worn out from school
And I'm there to tag team with you

Take me home for Christmas
Home with my baby
Scouring the listing for memories to make
Losing our minds under ribbon and tape
What has gone wrong that I'm so far away from home

Digging out old decorations
Tamping down anticipation
Or failing to
Holding our breath
While the fairy lights fill the room
And we’ll light up with thеm too

I glance upon crestfallen facеs
Tired and yearning for other places
But also a few
Where there’s no relief
‘Cause they’ve no one to go home to
So I’ll
Be glad
I’m freezing on
This platform
And wishing myself away
To you

Home, home for Christmas

Take me home for Christmas
Home with my baby
Take me home for Christmas
Home to my babies
Scouring the listing for memories to make
Losing our minds under ribbon and tape
What have I done to be so far away
(Home for Christmas)
So far away
(Home for Christmas)
