25th December

And I see forests and it's the 25th of December

And my old man plays the piano for Christmas

He plays the piano for Christmas

And we're all there, all the aunties and uncles

And the angel's on the top of the tree

Up there on the top of the tree

And I never, no, I never ever realised

And I never, no, I never ever realised

Have I enough time, have I just some time

To revisit, to go back, to return, to open my mouth again

And say something different this time

And I see bags of newspapers and a car in the carport

And you're a grown up but still unsure

And I'm thirty and I don't know nothing no more

And I never, no, I never ever realised

And I never, no, I never ever realised

And I'm sitting, sitting at the top of the stairs

And you're crying out on the towpath by the river

With all the swans and all the people walking by

And all of a sudden I'm struck with an urge

To unlock a door with a key that's too big for my hands

And I drop it and it falls at your feet

Come on, come on, it's there at your feet

And I never, no, I never ever realised

You see I never, no, I never ever realised
