Where in the world
Did you come from my dear?
Did some mysterious voice
Tell you I'd still be here?
I bought this ticket to Mobile
But I been stranded all day
P.A. said the bus broke down
Ten miles away
From the station
So seldom a door
So seldom a key
So seldom a lock
Like the love between you and me
But seldom comes happiness
Without the pain
Of the devil in the details
Since I saw the smile on your
Face as I was crying
In a Greyhound station on Christmas Day
In 1998
Face as I was crying
In a Greyhound station on Christmas Day, hey, hey
The burden of love is
The fuel of bad grammar
You stutter and stammer
What a bitch to convey
The crux of the matter
When the words you must utter
Are hopelessly tangled
In the memories and scars you show no one
So seldom a door
So seldom a key
So seldom a hit
Like the hurt you put on me
But seldom comes happiness
Without the pain
Of the devil in the details
Since I saw the smile on your
Face as I was crying
In a Greyhound station on Christmas Day
In 1998
Face as I was crying

I remember quite clearly
A bad Muzak version
Of James Taylor's big hit
Called "Fire and Rain"
♪
Was playing as you crouched down
And tearfully kissed me
And I thought, "Damn, what good fiction
I will mold from this terrible pain"
So seldom a door
Seldom a key
Seldom a gift
Like the gift you gave me
But seldom comes happiness
Without the pain
Of the devil in the details
Since I saw the smile on your
Face as I was crying
In a Greyhound station on Christmas Day, hey, hey
Face as I was crying
In a Greyhound station on Christmas Day, hey, hey
Amazing grace
How sweet the smile
Upon the face
I never thought
I'd see you again
Especially here in this
Greyhound station on
Christmas Day
