Looking For Christmas

from the 2010 Del Lowell & the SMITHTONES CD, Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
(2:48) music and lyrics written and recorded by D.Smith

Driving away, I swear, I saw your spirit leaving
Into a place where some of us will never be in
Underlined words, your maker never needs to see you
Standing in line like everyone is pleased to meet you

Terrible branches, incriminating gray on blue sky
Looking for Christmas - all afraid to 'out loud' ask, why?

Shamelessly watching distant planets losing their light
Famously hoping actions like these blacken our nights
Underlined worlds, your maker really needs to see you
Standing in line like everyone just to be you

Driving away, no doubt, I heard your 'out loud' first sigh
Looking for Christmas - I'm afraid to care and ask, why?
Frosted green plastic... thinking it could make the difference
Look through the madness - finally see my point of reference

I don't even know, what you don't even know
But we say that we're going, and we act like we go
Now before we move further, let's move out of the way
First, give up on the story, then let's mean what we say
