Xmas - Jesse Malin

Christmas is coming down

Ten dollar bill in my pocket

I let my baby down

I want to blast off like a rocket

People are on my way

Children await the surprise

I tried to hide my face

I tried to stop my eyes

I made my baby cry

I made her say goodbye

And the winter keeps coming back

As the rain begins to fall

And I know you’re not coming back

But I had to make the call

You say you’re not far away

You want to stay in touch

Well I could blame this holiday

But I miss you much too much

I tried to make it clean

Something inside wouldn’t listen

My angel we walked in the snow

I woke from the dream you were missing

I made my baby cry

I made her say goodbye

And the winter keeps coming back

As the snow begins to fall

And I know you’re not coming back

But I had to make the call

Maybe you’re with someone else

And he’s holding you tight

My reindeer that disappeared

I still hope you’re alright

Christmas is coming down

People are on my way

It was sunny when I got out

To the street where the trees all lay

Christmas is coming down
