Christmas Day |
| Where in the world did you come from my dear? |
| Did some mysterious voice tell you I’d still be here? |
| I bought this ticket to Mobile, but I been stranded all day… p.a. |
| said the bus broke down ten miles away from the station. |
| So seldom a door… so seldom a key… so seldom a lock like the |
| love between you and me. |
| But seldom comes happiness without the |
| pain of the devil in the details since I saw the smile on your |
| face as I was crying in a Greyhound station on Christmas Day… in 1998. |
| The burden of love is the fuel of bad grammar. |
| You stutter and stammer--what a bitch to convey the crux of the |
| matter, when the words you must utter are hopelessly tangled in the memories and scars you show no one. |
| So seldom a door… |
| so seldom a key… so seldom a hit like the hurt you put on me. |
| But seldom comes happiness without the pain of the devil in the |
| details since I saw the smile on your face as I was crying in a Greyhound station on Christmas Day… in 1998. I remember quite clearly, |
| a bad Muzak version of James Taylor’s big hit, called «Fire and Rain» |
| was playing as you crouched down and tearfully kissed me, and I thought, |
| «Damn, what good fiction I will mold from this terrible pain.» |
| So seldom a door… so seldom a key… so seldom a gift like the gift you gave me. |
| But seldom comes happiness without the pain of the devil in the details since |
| I saw the smile on your face as I was crying in a Greyhound station on Christmas Day… in 1998. Amazing grace, how sweet the smile upon the face |
| I never thought I’d see you again… especially here in this Greyhound station… |
| on Christmas Day… in 1998 |
