lyrics

I couldn't come home
this year at Christmas
There seemed to be
something in the way
You said you want
to be alone this Christmas
But then you changed your mind
on Christmas day

You said it's not too late
to change your mind
at Christmas time
You said it's not too late to try
(But it's a hell of a drive!)

I couldn't get home at Christmas time
(I couldn't make it if I tried)
Out into the snow, out into the ice
(I just kept driving towards the lights)
I couldn't come home this Christmas time
I couldn't though I tried
But I can't find a way
to get back home this time

I couldn't get home
this Christmas time
I couldn't make it
if I tried

You said it's not too late
to change your mind
at Christmas time
You said it's not too late to try
(But it's a hell of a drive!)

I couldn't get home at Christmas time
(I couldn't make it if I tried)
Out into the snow, out into the ice
(I just kept driving towards the lights)
I couldn't come home this Christmas time
I couldn't though I tried
But I can't find a way
to get back home this time

I couldn't get home this year at Christmas
(I couldn't make it if I tried)
I couldn't get home this year at Christmas
(I just kept driving towards the lights)
I couldn't get home this year at Christmas
(I couldn't make it if I tried)
I couldn't get home this year at Christmas
(I couldn't make it home this time)
