well I wore that sweater, the one Torrie bought me
the one that feels like terrycloth
and I smiled and I closed my eyes just a little
'cause I don't think that's the one that I'd have got
and I slept and I dreamt of ginger and honey
and a place by the fire that was warm
and I dreamt that we joined a roman catholic choir
dressed in finery and form
so I'm comin' home from where I roam
with all my just-in-cases
I'll see my kin, my tens of them
with yuletide on their faces
with nightcaps and flashlights the carolers sang like
this would be the last chance that they'd get
and if neighbors were delighted, why they'd be invited
inside for a whiskey at best
New York is fun, but I for one
I dreamed of wider spaces
and stars in eyes of friends of mine
with yuletide on their faces
