Maple Glider - Mama It's Christmas Lyrics

I'd been working all day
Missed a call from your friend
She asked if you were okay
You hadn't shown up to your date

I picked up the phone
Woke my father from his sleep
Couldn't help but break down

He said, "Child don't you weep
He'll be back before morning
It's not the first time he's done it this week"

Mama, it's Christmas time again
Where is my brother?
Where is my friend?
Mama, it's Christmas time, again
Doesn't he know I've got ribbons to wrap him in

Mama, it's Christmas

You called me that night
Said, "babe don't you worry now"
All I could manage was "I love you"
But I should have reached through the phone
Slapped you hard on the cheek
So that you would know pain like I do when you leave

Oh, it's Christmas time again
Where is my brother?
Where is my friend?
Mama, it's Christmas time, again
Doesn't he know I've got ribbons to wrap him in

Mama, it's Christmas

I'd been working all day
Missed a call from your friend
She asked if you were okay
Again

Boy you could cry wolf, year after year
Still I would not stop trying to fight off your fears

Is it drugs or religion keeping you here
It's already getting to that time of the year

Oh, it's Christmas time again
Where are you brother?
Where are you my friend?
Mama, it's Christmas time again
Doesn't he know I've got all my love to wrap him in

Mama, it's Christmas
Mama, it's Christmas
Mama, it's Christmas

Mama, it's Christmas time again
