lyrics

Gunshots and crystals underneath the mistletoe,
let’s pray we find our fix tonight

Meet me down on 34th
Hub cap trees and rainbow cords
Illuminate
and Captivate

The nights are long the days are short
The sun approaches in irony
Yet glacial, unwelcoming

let’s freeze the harbor,
Grab our skates and we’ll be on our way
Glide past McHenry to the bay
Carve the mountains, Cumberland is only hours away
Its time
Its Christmas time we'll be ok

Snow angels in clouds above the Chesapeake
Keep me warm, keep me warm
The cold won’t let go

Fells Point, Canton, Harbor East at least the water taxi’s seats will hold these fatties as they eat their Christmas treats

Lights and trees
Wants and needs
Lonely homes
Garden gnomes

Can we capture that feel?
The Christmas vibe
Bottle it and breathe it in throughout the year
Get so high

Much to my dismay
The magic I once felt as a kid during the holiday season, has slowly but steadily drifted away ... fleeing and out of my life. Like a great snowfall, no matter the magnitude of the storm or the accumulation it leaves in its wake.... that magic inevitably dissapears into the catacombs of my memory and there it stays ....
