Christmas At Sea

(album: Christmas Child - 2010)

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 greeting
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

Harboring the distant sound
It travels fast as rolling
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 sea
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 is 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) S-O-S, a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me (just let it slide)
Christmas at sea (I apologize) S-O-S, a boat afloat at sea (it's late at night, if my mind is drifting) row you to me (just let it slide)
