christmas melancholy
there's a certain melancholy
alone on christmas eve
doing nothing special
nothing up my sleeve
took a Tokyo tour today
just doing my job
spent the day with Adam
he says he's not a slob
my wife is at her parent's house
she's playing with our child
i'm feeling like a nobody
like jesus, just meek and mild
i miss my little brother
i miss my mother too
i know this too shall pass
but still i'm feeling blue
i'm thankful for my health
i guess
my empty little room
but the silence here is deafening
i'm lost within the gloom
but Tokyo was Tokyo
people in the streets
i want to sing a song
but i keep missing the beats
still i'm always grateful
for the things i that i can see
and the things i cannot see
still
they mean so much to
me
