Christmas at Sea

Trying hard to stay awake Christmas cards stacked on the table I am at my desk thinking of you Note after note I spell out the season's greetings Trying hard to keep them from becoming Letters of distress… C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-S. O. S. A boat afloat at sea Row you to me Christmas at sea Harboring the distant sound It travels fastest rolling over water I'm still at my desk Now I'm writing you The house is dressed The season's ornaments Unpacked from the TV box Silver red gold and green The window's lit…the tree is glowing C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-S. O. S. A boat afloat at sea Row you to me Christmas at C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-S. O. S. A boat afloat at sea, row you to me And I apologize It's late at night If my mind's drifting Just let it slide I apologize It's late at night The weather has been nice The streets a buzz with holiday The traffic lights, of course Take forever to make it through The winter beach is clean and clear I like how the lights just disappear Over water…over water C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-S. O. S. A boat afloat at sea Row you to me Christmas at C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-S. O. S. A boat afloat at sea Row you to me And I apologize It's late at night If my mind's drifting Just let it slide...
