these things

from christmas ghosts by the gifted children

/

lyrics

the couch where you used to lay has fallen cold
it's not the same without you here this christmas
i keep watching 'it's a wonderful life' and wishing for one of my own
all our friends keep saying, "these things take time..."

i saw you at the mall, it was so sad
presents for other people in that bag
i wondered who they were for, you didn't answer
(i shouldn't have asked)
"these things take time..."

the snow falls where your car used to be parked
neighbors say the bare patch is filling in nicely
but i still can tell where it used to be
and it makes me so sad
a knock on the door while i'm fast asleep
an unannounced visit on christmas eve
i'm half-dressed and dirty, who could that be...
and i open the door
and it's you
and i know what you came here for
and i think i agree
"these things take time..."
