Jim White Christmas day Lyrics:
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. 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. 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...so seldom a
key...so 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...in 1998. 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...in 1998
