Erasure - She Won't Be Home
Released on Crackers International ep.
Acoustic version
Standard Tuning
Intro: horn and xylophone/keyboard
She looks around
There are snowflakes on the ground
Here comes another lonely Christmas
Stars in the night
There is one there shining bright
Shine bright for me this lonely Christmas
And I wanted to say to you
How much I want to be with you
I wanted to say to you
How much I need to be with you
And Christmastime comes once year
She knows this time he won't be near
She phones her mom
Says this time, she cannot come
Don't worry, I'm with friends this Christmas
Dad gets upset
But in time he soon forgets
Here comes another lonely Christmas
And I wanted to say to you
How much I want to be with you
I wanted to say to you
How much I need to be with you
And Christmastime comes once year
She knows this time he won't be near

And I wanted to say to you (she won't be home)
How much I want to be with you ('tis Christmas time at home)
I wanted to say to you (she won't be home)
How much I need to be with you ('tis Christmas time at home)
