VERSE
Baltimore's quiet and cold, there's no ship in the bay
To take me back home in time for the holiday
Oh December never ends
If you'd come here instead, I've got gifts and food and friends
Plenty of room in my bed
Only you can help me mend
REFRAIN
So here's to being alone, to anyone on that road, if anyone's listening
Will think of me when I'm gone, it's not gonna hurt for long
So you can just forget
And I can't live without regret
BRIDGE
When I return to you at last
Surprise me in red and black
Oh no you never ever give in, never give in
In your smile, there's a certain lack
A muscle strain from front to back
So I'll do anything to get me right back home
