Christmas At Sea - Carbon Leaf

Trying hard to stay awake, Christmas cards stacked on the table

I am at my desk thinking of you

Note after note, I spell out the season’s greetings

Trying hard to keep them from becoming letters of distress

C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me

Christmas at sea

Hovering, the distant sound it travels fast

It’s rolling over water, I’m still at my desk

Now I’m writing you

The house is dressed, the season’s ornaments unpacked from the tv box

Silver, red, gold, and green, the window’s lit, the tree is glowing

C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me

Christmas at C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me

And I apologize

It’s late at night, if my mind’s drifting, just let it slide

And I apologize

It’s late at night

The weather has been nice

The streets a buzz of holiday traffic lights

Of course, take forever to make it through

The winter beach is clean and clear,

I like how the lights just disappear over water

Over water

C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me

Christmas at C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me.

Christmas at sea.

And I apologize, it’s late at night

If my mind’s drifting, just let it slide…
