lyrics

she doesn't cry out loud at night
because no one really does that in real life
she just sets her coffee pot
gets undressed, goes to bed
and though she still has dreams
in the morning they mean just next to nothing
and she can't around to taking those pictures down
so she just doesn't really look at them anymore

when pressed about these personal decisions
she admits a certain deferrence to tradition

she still sends out christmas cards
though the list gets shorter every year
she still gets some in return
stored away,unopened
when winter's made its way to town
and this one's bound to be as bad as any
the house is still alive
with soft young light
and the fragrance of poinsette and amarylis

when pressed about these precarious positions
she admits a certain preference to tradtion

so sun rise and set
set the mistletoe
deck the walls and count yourself among the few
the blessed and time honored
carried on vast shoulders
that stagger back and slump beneath
but still support the weight of you
