Heartbreak Beneath Christmas Lights
Christmas alt-rock ballad with a mid-tempo build: piano, guitar, bass and drums, with a tender male voice that rises into falsetto. Melancholy turning hopeful, sung in English, about heartbreak under the glowing city lights.
Lyrics
The taxi meter clicks away the time.I’m watching frozen breath against the glass.The sidewalk vendors sell their winter wine.I wait for all these holidays to pass.It’s a long way home.Every window has a different light.It’s a long way home.Through the middle of a lonely night.A giant pine is standing in the square.The kids are making wishes in the snow.I felt a sudden chill within the air.And nowhere left for me to really go.It’s a long way home.Every window has a different light.It’s a long way home.Through the middle of a lonely night.But there’s a star above the dirty station.Small enough to lead me to the door.I’m tired of this bitter destination.I don’t want to be angry anymore.It’s a long way home.Every window has a different light.It’s a long way home.Through the middle of a lonely night.Walking through the light.Maybe I’ll be fine.Just a little time.Merry Christmas.
