Lyrics
Home By Christmas
You left here after midnight
After we had our big fight
Heard the taxi in the driveway
But I never thought you?d leave forever
I keep hoping that you?ll be home by Christmas
Or maybe it?ll be another year before you miss us
One day I?m sure you?ll come over the horizon
With stories on your lips and pictures I your eyes
Got a package full of Easter
From somewhere in Peru
No address for the sender, but I knew it came from you
Got a postcard on my birthday
You kept talking about the moon
Got a letter from California
Said you send another when you could
(chorus)
Got a voicemail from Australia
Said you?d found a home at last
And you had a lover waiting
So you had to make it fast
You said it?s springtime where I am
I know it?s Autumn where you are
We?re just the same but different
And we can only be who we are
(chorus)
