Adam Marsland December 24 lyrics

Button up -- weatherman gave warning
Hurry back I'll have lots to tell
Then nestle in, you can stay 'til morning
Find a warm place to dwell

Maybe I'll miss the ground
Once these heady winds have shifted
When I'm taking the long way down
To where I was from where I've drifted

Lock the door, light the tree
Celebrate our bravery
And the presents yet to open
Draw close, find a kiss
Something good may come from this
Not to kill a metaphor
But it's December 24

Coffee shop down the street from my house
You saw the same shapes that I did
Spilling sugar on the table laughing
Is this what God forbid?

Maybe we'll miss the ground
Once these heady winds have shifted
When we're taking the long way down
To where we'll fall from where we're lifted


A new place...it made sense
The compass reorients
A truer north that lay within me
Don't lie, don't deny
If you want to so do I
There are new poles to explore
'Cause it's December 24

I don't want to leave this room
The daylight penetrates too soon
Dulling the edges of this moment
There may be penalties to pay
After the veils fall away
At the cheerful bright of day
Leave the wrappers where they lay –
What will they say?

Just words, sticks and stones
Embrace to face what was unknown
with all the courage you can muster
Come snow, come sun
I guess there's someone for everyone
Not to kill a metaphor..it's December 24
