The house was dark. We climbed out through the window
Staring through the yard, black bags along the street
“One more time—let’s see it: Every split-level lit for the season
“Like last night, you know? No, don’t just leave me standing in the snow”
Merry Christmas, Christmas is over
Roll the feeling into the New Year
Don’t you forget all the shows that
Told us we could keep this forever
I remember you
Do you remember me?
—The way we fawned upon the tree
And traced a scene in every neighbor’s window?
Save it to the morning
The kids are down and the house is easy
So pour yourself a glass of wine
Our Christmas Day is the night when the show’s all over
And when the season’s gone we can
Pay for it all in the spring, summer, fall, baby
Merry Christmas, Christmas is over
Roll your hopes all into the new year
Don’t you forget all the songs that
Told us we could keep it together
I remember you
Do you remember me?
—The way we laid beside a tree and
And traced a name on every frosted window?
Save it to the morning
And through the years
We all will be together
If every fate
Allows us one more time
One more time—let’s see it: Through the throbbing contraction of seasons,
Laid native in the snow, something terrible and beautiful and
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Merry Christmas, Christmas is over
Roll the feeling into the new year
Don’t you forget all the shows that
Told us we could keep this forever
I remember you
Do you remember me?
—The way we knelt beside the tree
And drew a scene for every neighbor’s window?
