Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas Lyrics - Okkervil River

Home is where beds are made and butter is added to toast 

On a cold afternoon you can float room to room like a ghost 

Take the creche out and argue about who gets to set up the kings 

And I know that it's home because that's where the stereo sings 

"((Otis_Redding: I've_Got_Dreams_To_Remember|I've got dreams, dreams to remember.))" 

But not even home will be with you forever 

It's Christmastime and the plane flies me over white hills 

To a town in a dream where the sky, it is frozen and still 

And a room that's not mine but it's just like I left it before 

With the wax from the candles all dusty and locks on the door 

Where I held you so tenderly 

And where in summer I opened your letter to me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now I'm standing where we kneeled 

And a miracle mile now borders it 

But if I turn my face to the field 

I don't even notice it for a second 

There's a tangle of greenery where winter scenery ends 

And I hear that song sometimes and imagine us much more than friends 

Like if we stayed in this town, bought the first house that went up on sale 

And how each Christmastime would bring inlaws and snow days and holiday mail 

Your dad says you're living in Georgia since last September
