about

I wrote this song for my wife Marta, who is a nurse. It goes out to anyone who's had to be away from their families over the holidays.

lyrics

Just as we’re sitting down, you’re about to get up
Working for double time, but it’s never enough

Enough to know you’re not alone, when you’re not with me at home

You’re working on Christmas
I’m watching the time
Everyone’s eating, and you’re on the line
You’re working on Christmas - but, everything is all right

Just as you’re heading out, out into the quiet streets
You’d look through every window, just to see how it feels, to know

That no, you’re not alone, when you’re not here with me at home

You’re working on Christmas
I’ll turn off the lights
Everyone’s sleeping, but you’re on a night
You’re working on Christmas, but everything is all right

Cause time will melt away like snow
Oh, time it melts away the soul
When it counts, oh, it moves so slow
But, soon you’ll be with me back home

You’re working on Christmas
I’ll turn on the lights
You’re on your way home, I’m watching the time
You’re working on Christmas, but everything is fine
