Girlyman - Carols at Christmas lyrics

A cold crash of metal and gears Grip the wheel as I sit right here Did she get away, a ghost of a deer Am I in this all alone? Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas I am trying to make sense of your tenses I know a word but not the rest of your sentence There is nothing I can do Because I don't understand you Always felt like I was walking a maze No one told me to go right or left Blue or red, what colors disguise me So I look like all the rest? Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas I am trying to make sense of your tenses I know a word but not the rest of your sentence There is nothing I can do Because I don't understand you Your eyes never change their watchful gaze on the T.V. set They're already a day ahead in the east Can an island mean more than me? Well there you are, standing with people like you It seems I've never seen you laugh like you do I count the ways I could have been more like you Well I'm nine, singing carols at Christmas I am trying to make sense of your tenses I know a word but not the rest of your sentence There is nothing I can do Because I don't understand you
