Home for Christmas

Flicking through the cards in a railway station The same old list of cancellations Snow on the line Is 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 With you Take me home for Christmas Home with my baby Scouring the listings 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 We all light up with sun too I dance upon crestfallen faces Tired and yearning for other places But also, a few Well there's no relief 'Cause they've no-one to go home too So I'll be glad I'm freezing on this platform And wishing myself away To you Home, home Home, home for Christmas Home, home Home, home for Christmas Home, home Home, home for Christmas Home, home for Christmas Take me home for Christmas Home with my baby Take me home for Christmas Home to my baby Scouring the listings for memories to make Losing our minds under ribbon and tape What have I done to be so far away?
