Christmas at Sea

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