25th December Lyrics

And I see forests
And it's the 25th of December and my old man plays the piano for Christmas
He plays the piano for Christmas
And we're all there
All the aunties and uncles
And the angel's at the top of the tree
Up there on the top of the tree

And I never, no I never never realised
And I never, no I never never realised

Have I enough time
Have I just some time to revisit
To go back
To return
To open my mouth again
And say something different this time
And I see bags of newspapers and a car in the carport
And you've grown up and still unsure
And I'm thirty, and I don't know nothing no more

And I never, no I never never realised
And I never, no I never never realised

And I'm sitting
Sitting at the top of the stairs
And you're crying out on the towpath by the river
With all the swans and all the people walking by
And all of a sudden
 I'm struck with a nurge to unlock a door
With a key that's too big for my hands
And I drop it
And it falls at your feet
Come on, come on
It's there at your feet

And I never, no I never never realised
And I never, no I never never realised
