lyrics

Somewhere between the town and the country
some time before the end of the year
Someone's face is caught in the mirror, staring at me

I turned your room into an office
I put an old Stairmaster there
Now it's winter: I'll watch the snow right from my chair

Son, you should come home for Christmas
Your mother's been asking for you
She's tired of looking in my eyes for you--I am too.

I found a bar on my way home from work
There's a bartender there who calls out my name
"Hey Ho, Charlie!" -- the more things change, the more they're the same

Time for the tree to come up from the basement
It's so much easier this way
Every tree can't be replanted; everything goes away

Son, you should come home for Christmas
Your mother's been asking for you
She's tired of looking in my eyes for you--I am too.

West Chester, PA songwriter Ben Smith's songs sound good in both your front parlor and your back barroom---all Tin Pan Alley piano and a fading choirboy voice.
