Call for a cab to come
wait for a train to run
catch the last flight out on this Christmas Eve.
Far from my family everything dear to me
home is where I should be on Christmas Eve
Seven hours in the air
two hours to Maine from there
Longing for Mountain air this Christmas Eve
Chorus: Wake up the dogs and turn on the light
Kiss you hello and kiss you goodnight
Stoke up the fire and sift through the mail
A tall glass of wine when all words fail,
all words fail.
Crawl into bed with you
just have an hour or two
finally home with you on Christmas Eve
Wall on the clock says three
back in the air I'll be
crying myself to sleep on Christmas Eve
Chorus: Take out the dogs and turn off the
Put out the fire and stack up the mail
A bottle of wine when all else fails, all else fails.
Seven hours in the air
two hours from Maine to there
never again I swear…on Christmas Eve. |

A cup of coffee and a cigarette
he really hadn't even woke up yet
Awhite t-shirt and an irish cap
a Christmas present sitting on his lap.
Chorus: it's Christmas morning and the Irish hour played
Tommy makem sang Christ the savior is born…
We'd been buggin him since 4:00
he said wait until the sun comes up.
He wrapped the presents put on the last bow
he'd gone to bed only an hour ago.
Bridge: Daddy, Daddy, hello
wake up Daddy let's go
Christmas Daddy it's here
bright lights, still night good cheer
Fell asleep under the Christmas tree
my snoring dog, my sister, and me
His loving arms carried us away
back to bed on Christmas day |
