Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas
Home is where beds are made and butter is added to toast On a cold afternoon you can float room to room like a ghost Take the creche out and argue about who gets to set up the kings And I know that it's home because that's where the stereo sings
I've got dreams to remember But not even home can be with you forever It's Christmastime and the plane flies me over White hills to a town in a dream
Where the sky is frozen and still and a room (That's not mine but it's just like I left it before With the wax from the candles all dusty And locks on the door)
Where I held you so tenderly And where in summer I opened your letter to me Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I'm standing where we knelt and a miracle mile now borders it But if I turn my back and look at the field I don't even notice it for a second
There's a tangle of greenery where winter scenery ends And I hear that song sometimes and imagine us much more than friends Like if we stayed in this town, bought the first house that went up on sale And how each Christmastime would bring in laws and snow days
And holiday mail Your dad says you're living in Georgia since last September Well, I've got dreams to remember, I've got dreams to remember Oh Sara, come back to New Hampshire We'll stay here forever
