| Wait until the kids are sleeping
|
| Don’t want them to hear me leaving
|
| I’ll send a letter to the lawyers
|
| I’m going to make this easy for you
|
| But yet again
|
| (yet again, yet again, yet again)
|
| Looks like I won’t be home for Christmas
|
| And yet again
|
| (yet again, yet again, yet again)
|
| My bags are packed
|
| It’s late December
|
| And another year has slipped away
|
| Another lonely Christmas Day
|
| I’ll set a course for California
|
| And try my very best not to call you
|
| This year I’ll escape the winter
|
| Make a new start, break a new heart
|
| But yet again
|
| (yet again, yet again, yet again)
|
| Looks like I won’t be home for Christmas
|
| And yet again
|
| (yet again, yet again, yet again)
|
| There’s a thousand miles between us
|
| And another year that’s seen us
|
| Throw it all away, one we won’t get back again
|
| Another lonely Christmas Day |
