Harrison Lemke - Coeur D'alene Lake Christmas Eve '98 lyrics
Artist: Harrison Lemke
album: Technicolor Nativity
Pad across the frigid tile
In your bare feet and run a glass of water
The lit up numbers on the microwave
Say it's still Christmas Eve for twenty minutes longer
A week back home in Idaho
Amid cousins' faces, strange and yet familiar
And drinks, and games, and films that end the same old ways
It's all as it was, but there's no way to account for
The time that passed through everyone
Too wearisome to name, or chart, or sum
The hopes and fears of all the years
Chasing a clarity that never seems to come
Is it just hold on
Until the end
Hold, hold on
Until the end
Pad downstairs to the double bed
Where your cousin is already softly sleeping
And pull the covers up around your head
And shake, and stare up at the ceiling
And hold on
Until the end
Hold, hold on
Until the end
In your bare feet and run a glass of water
The lit up numbers on the microwave
Say it's still Christmas Eve for twenty minutes longer
A week back home in Idaho
Amid cousins' faces, strange and yet familiar
And drinks, and games, and films that end the same old ways
It's all as it was, but there's no way to account for
The time that passed through everyone
Too wearisome to name, or chart, or sum
The hopes and fears of all the years
Chasing a clarity that never seems to come
Is it just hold on
Until the end
Hold, hold on
Until the end
Pad downstairs to the double bed
Where your cousin is already softly sleeping
And pull the covers up around your head
And shake, and stare up at the ceiling
And hold on
Until the end
Hold, hold on
Until the end
