Field Music - Home for Christmas Lyrics

Flicking through the cards in a railway station
The same old list of cancellations
Snow on the line
Is stranding me here when I wish I was near you

I want to call, but they'll be settling down now
An interruption would delay the countdown
It's hard enough
When they're worn out from school
And I'm there to tag team with you
With you

Take me home for Christmas
Home with my baby
Scouring the listings for memories to make
Losing our minds under ribbon and tape
What has gone wrong that I'm so far away from home

Digging out old decorations
Tamping down anticipation
Or failing to
Holding our breath while the fairy lights fill the room
We all light up with sun too

I dance upon crestfallen faces
Tired and yearning for other places
But also, a few
Well there's no relief
'Cause they've no-one to go home too

So I'll be glad
I'm freezing on this platform
And wishing myself away
To you

Home, home
Home, home for Christmas
Home, home
Home, home for Christmas
Home, home
Home, home for Christmas
Home, home for Christmas

Take me home for Christmas
Home with my baby
Take me home for Christmas
Home to my baby
Scouring the listings for memories to make
Losing our minds under ribbon and tape
What have I done to be so far away?
(Home for Christmas)
So far away (home for Christmas)
So far away (home for Christmas)
So far away (home for Christmas)
(Home for Christmas)
(Home for Christmas)
(Home for Christmas)
(Home for Christmas)
(Home for Christmas)

(So far away)
(So far away)
(So far away)
(So far away)
(So far away)
(So far away)
