Christmas in the City |
Katy: |
Four years ago Christmas as the Woodshire Hotel |
In room 318 a broken lamp fell |
A man left his family for a woman he loved |
And waited here years but still, she’d not come |
In 110 a hooker was staying alone |
Her night off in style, eating cake with a spoon |
And in room 200, just one story more |
My mother was lying there dead on the floor |
It’s Christmas time |
It’s Christmas time |
It’s Christmas time in the city |
In 310 a man sat alone with his cat |
His mind slowly slipping like his weathered grey cap |
He couldn’t remember his home or his kids |
Or the name of the cat, or how long it had been |
The maid last night walked in a room where she gasped |
Her husband and brother in bed wearing masks |
And in room 200, just one story more |
My mother was lying there dead on the floor |
It’s Christmas time |
It’s Christmas time |
It’s Christmas time in the city |
Up there, the clouds cannot take |
And they burst and they shatter and break |
And they fall apart slowly, disappear without sound |
All that’s left snow falling down to the ground |
My stepfather left her, took everything so |
I stole a big score to keep her afloat |
A bag full of money I brought back but when |
I opened the door I saw next to the bed |
The pill case was empty, not even a note |
But I just can’t blame her, I wish I had known |
I wish she had stayed here, just one Christmas more |
I wish I had never walked out of that door |
It’s Christmas time |
It’s Christmas time |
It’s Christmas time in the city |
