Open up the windows, the room needs airing out
It's been empty for a year
It's just like you remember, the best that I could do
It just needs one last vacuum through
There's fake snow on the mantelpiece
And a wreath hanging on the door
Come home, it's all waiting for you
The lights with their coloured hues, and painted baubles
Her flight is late, it's a weather delay
An Australian summer storm
She's looking tired
'Oh, work's been crazy this year
I thought I'd never make it here
And I know that it's been too long
I see the lights with their coloured glow
And I'm home, but it's not the same
With all the candy canes and fake snow'
Pull apart the cracker, put on the silly hat
And smile for the photograph
There's one more piece of pav left, I saved it just for you
And the last of the cherries too
There's fake snow on the mantelpiece
And cards from your childhood friends
It's home for this Christmas night
And it'll be alright in the end
There's fake snow on the mantelpiece
And tinsel wrapped round the tree
You're home, and darling that's enough
So settle in my love, next to me
You're home

My Song

Here in my song
I keep the broken parts of me
I've laid them out for all to see
Here in my song
And you can come in
I'll show you my darkness and my sin
I've built sturdy walls to keep them in
Here in my song
And it's made from finest sorrow
And the lessons that it taught
I wove words around my heartbreak
To bind the pain it brought
Here in my song
Sing it with me
So I know I'm not alone
And I'll lend you strength to match my own
Here in my song
We'll drown it out
All the fear and the self-doubt
I'll show you what love is all about
Here in my song
And I'm building up new bridges
From these precious shards of truth
Well they cost me blood and tears
But I'm giving them to you
Here in my song
Here in my song
I'd been carrying so much hurt
I had to find somewhere to put it down
It's got a place in my song now
And it's made from finest sorrow
And all the things it taught
It might have cost me dear
But I've bound the pain it brought
Here in my song
Here in my song
