Merry Xmas
words/music © matt ralph 2001
If that’s what you want to say then fine,
I’ll take a cab from the front door and say so long lover,
It’s been a rough time,
It’s been a big year,
And now you’re telling me on Xmas eve that’s it’s no longer,
Well couldn’t you’ve waited for the new year,
I won’t pretend that I thought it was for the long haul,
You know I loved how we used to take it day by day,
But just when I thought it was going to be a good Xmas,
You had to bring it up,
All that well where do we go from here deal,
So Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year,
I think what you’re giving me is perfectly clear,
But it’s such a bad time for you to take away,
My fantasies and dreams of us both in love,
You know I’ve always loved Xmas,
Haven’t had a bad one yet,
You know I love the decorations and sentimental things like that,
But I see the sad eyed girls in the park,
And I think it’s such a bad time to break away,
You know I’ve always felt that,
Now I’m getting it out of my system with my own Xmas song,
But it could have been a happy one,
Could have been about a flight of stairs with a nesting bird,
Singing an ancient song,
With those tiny eggs hatching to the break of light,
As we came dancing home,
You know I want to sing for you,
But this ain’t about what I want,
No,
You were just cleaning out your cupboards,
And I was on the list of things that had to go,
So Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year,
I think what I got,
Is just what you wanted,
But it’s such a bad time to be in the park,
Looking like the sad eyed girls that you see a lot,
Round this time of year
