Trying hard to stay awake, Christmas cards stacked on the table
I am at my desk thinking of you
Note after note, I spell out the season's greetings
Trying hard to keep them from becoming letters of distress
C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me
Christmas at sea
Hovering, the distant sound it travels fast
It's rolling over water, I'm still at my desk
Now I'm writing you
The house is dressed, the season's ornaments unpacked from the tv box
Silver, red, gold, and green, the window's lit, the tree is glowing
C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me
Christmas at C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me
And I apologize
It's late at night, if my mind's drifting, just let it slide
And I apologize
It's late at night
The weather has been nice
The streets a buzz of holiday traffic lights
Of course, take forever to make it through
The winter beach is clean and clear,
I like how the lights just disappear over water
Over water
C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me
Christmas at C H R I S T M A S O S a boat afloat at sea, row you to me.
Christmas at sea.
And I apologize, it's late at night
If my mind's drifting, just let it slide...
