You opened the door for me And said you'd make me something to eat I hugged my knees in your armchair And I stared at the wall I could hear you in the kitchen Bumping into things Maybe it's not such a lousy world after all Maybe it's not such a lousy world after all I pretend that I'm asleep Because I'm scared you'll make me leave You turn out the lights and you disappear At the end of the hall The Christmas tree glows blearily Like a nightlight by my head Maybe it's not such a rotten holiday after all Maybe it's not such a rotten holiday after all Maybe it's not such a rotten holiday after all
