Graham K. Thompson - Christmas in the City Lyrics

Sorry Dear, but I have to go
I'm spending Christmastime in the city
But I'll be back, before you know
I'll bring you something real nice and pretty

It's only for a little while
And I know it's everything at once
But hear me out, my sweet crocodile
Here's how it's done

I'll sing you carols through my mobile phone
Pretend we own a mobile home
Set out on the open road
With no particular place to go

They will watch us up on the tv screen
But I'll wait for the magazine
And use the space between the bleed
To tell you just what you mean to me

I will fashion you an envelope
From the finest recycled paper
So you can send me a Christmas note
To say that you'll see me later

When I make it back to town
With some newfound foreign flavours
We'll have a feast, with paper crowns
Set a place for every neighbour

Oh honey, I just don't know if I should go
With all of this snow
'Cause honey I know it's not fair when I'm not there
But wherever I may roam
I'll find my way back home

Sorry Dear, I have to go
I'm spending Christmastime in the city
But I'll be back before you know
I'll bring ya something real nice and pretty

It's only for a little while
I know it's everything a once
But leave a light on for me tonight
'Cause a this week feels like a month
