david myles - the gift lyrics

Loading...

i wasn’t going home that particular
december
it was snowing outside and i remember seeing a man on the side of the road

he was tall and thin
and looked a lot like me
but with a tattered coat and ripped up jeans
he had lost his way and he had no home

he said “i was a man of fortune and fame
everywhere i went they knew my name
i had everything i thought a man could ever need
but every christmas season there’d be another reason
that i’d have to tell my friends that i wasn’t gonna see em
for another year or til things slowed down

well they never slowed down
they only sped up
and eventually my family and friends got fed up
and i was all alone when i started to fall

well i fell so hard, i fell so fast
they say the higher you go, the bigger the crash
like a tree in the woods, no one heard a sound”

then he got real quite and started shuffling through his coat
then he looked back at me and said here is a note
that i want you to read this time each year

well i started to shake
cause i was startled to see
that the note i was reading was written by me
when i looked again he had disappeared

and it said:

home ain’t home without your family
christmas ain’t christmas without your friends
love ain’t something that you find beneath the tree
but it is the gift in the end
