The Fighter

a christmas song

I hear you’re off to the Bahamas
Unwrapping gifts upon the beach
Im sorry i kept your sunglasses
I’m sorry you kept the receipt 
  
This Christmas i’ll still be in Yorkshire
Get drunk across an empty chair 
Mulling wine and over something 
I’ll try to get over next year

I hope you have a sunny Christmas
I know how much you hate the snow
And how it makes you think of England
At least England had the grace to let you go 

You gave your furniture to goodwill
And sold your car, or so I heard
I know we made plans for the new year
I guess we’re used to breaking words 

This Christmas I’ll try something useful 
But all the soup kitchens are full
It’s strange that even when I’m trying
I can’t do anything for good 

I hope you have a sunny Christmas
I know how much you hate the snow
And how it makes you think of England
At least England had the grace to let you go 

I hope you have a sunny christmas 
I know how much you hate the snow 
I know that you won’t read this letter
But at least I had a chance to let you know
