lyrics

The sky laid down on the ground
like a soaking wet hound from the pound
Rain rain was all around
in our eyes on our lips in our ears
It was only rain but it felt like tears
There's something about this time of year
alone with our fears
I'll be okay after a couple of beers

Chorus
Christmas blues
Cupboards filled with booze
No one has a clue what to do
No news is no news
I just can't figure out how to lose
these Christmas blues

In the basement with my laptop
upon the letter D is poised a single teardrop
it landed there with a quiet plop
Now I could go online and shop and shop
Instead into bed I will hop
dream I was a good-hearted cop
a friend to all the kids hangin' round the candy shop

Chorus

Christmas has passed farewell to my daughter
When she was five I read her Harry Potter
Now she's flying on a plane to Toronto
The sum can exceed the parts we taught her

Chorus
