lyrics

Christmas Eve

That Christmas Eve I kissed the tears from both her eyes
Whispered in Her ear
Let's play a game
Countdown from 10
We'll make it disappear
Are you ready?

As I turn the engine over
She curls a hand in mine
We follow all those yellow cat's eyes into the dumb black night

She says She's falling
She calls my name
She says She's falling it's hard to explain why we're doing this again

When we arrive they dress Her in a blue gown
Tied with ribbons at the back
She says that She feels like Alice from the book
The Doctors are detectives searching for their clues
Charcoals burning in her mind and tearing it loose

She says She's falling
She tries to explain
She‘s 'good with faces but what is my name?'

They show me Her memory up on a silver screen
All that She's ever loved and seen
Each time they cut blackness away from Her
She's getting better and I disappear

While She lies sleeping
I take off Her ring
When she wakes up She won't remember a thing
