Carlyle - Grand Central (Demo Version) Lyrics

I spent an hour or two at Grand Central
Watching the people get all sentimental
Kissing their lovers and sisters and mothers goodbye
And I imagined you'd burst through the turnstile
To tell me that you can't envision a world
Where I wasn't standing right there with you by your side
The holidays have funny ways of playing tricks on your heart, don't they?
Sometimes it's nice to have hope
Snowy days and horse-drawn sleighs
Got me wishing for the old ways
Back when I thought you'd come home
Don't let me be alone
On Christmas it's not home unless you're here
I'm not really in the spirit without you and the mistletoe
They say that it's the time for new beginnings
But I can't ring the new year on my own
Waited and watched as the trains left the station
A man swept the floor, families on their vacations
My heart skipped a beat when someone with your features went by
And I imagined you'd just missed your stop
Because you fell asleep or you simply forgot
Because it's the season for miracles I stayed all night
The holidays have funny ways of playing tricks on your heart, don't they?
Sometimes it's nice to have hope
Snowy days and horse-drawn sleighs
Got me wishing for the old ways
Back when I thought you'd come home
Don't let me be alone
On Christmas it's not home unless you're here
I'm not really in the spirit without you and the mistletoe
They say that it's the time for new beginnings
But I can't ring the new year on my own
If I had but one request
It would be to have you here before the day is done
And let the fates take care of the rest
We'd have no regrets
Don't let me be alone
On Christmas it's not home unless you're here
I'm not really in the spirit without you and the mistletoe
They say that it's the time for new beginnings
But I can't ring the new year on my own
