lyrics

If I had slept last night, I wouldn’t be so tired right now. If I wasn’t so sad, I wouldn’t be this blue. If you hadn’t left, I swear you’d be here right now. If you were here, I wouldn’t be missing you. If you were here, I wouldn’t be missing you. If you were here, I wouldn’t be blue.

If there’s a heaven above, I wouldn’t be so scared all the time. If there’s a hell below, I’ll be headed there soon. If I could read music, I wouldn’t have to write my own songs. And if you were here, I’d be singing a different tune. If you were here, I’d be singing a different tune. If you were here, I’d be singing in tune.

Now, if I got a job, I’d have probably have money and then all of the things that money can buy. But nothing would bring that sweet satisfaction that hasn’t been mine since you said goodbye. It hasn’t been mine since you said goodbye. That sweet satisfaction that money can’t buy.

If I had wings, I’m sure I’d use them and I wouldn’t pay nothing on diesel or tolls. Just riding around on any wind that would move me, and I’d never grow weary, I’d never grow old. I’d never grow weary and I’d never grow old and I’d never pay none of them Delaware tolls.

Now if I had luck, I’m sure I’d be luckier. And if I had company, I wouldn’t be so alone. And if it’s not obvious, it might be hard to see, but I wish you’d come home, I wish you’d come home. Honey come home, baby come home. If it’s not obvious, I wish you’d come home.

It would be a mistake to only listen to this during the holidays. I think that this album is a wonderful Brown Bird album on its own and shouldn't be brushed aside just because it's a Christmas album. I don't even like Christmas music, but this is fantastic. Keej
