Christmas At Sea

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 greetings
 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
 Hovering, the distant sound it travels fast
 It's rolling over 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 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's drifting, just let it slide
 And I apologize
 It's late at night
 The weather has been nice
 The streets a buzz of 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, it's late at night
 If my mind's drifting, just let it slide...
