lyrics

Oh I've been waiting since forever
Familiar place, I'd never
Been to, or had known
In the weeds is where she left me
Spent behind the bench she
Used to hold her own

Merry Christmas was still in our mouths
Mingled with our wedding vows
In her cap I did look like a sailor
As we sowed that frozen ground

This had taken me a liftetime
Of searching, in the meantime
No southern belle was she
In my arms she wept an told me
She'd forever hold me
She kept my DNA

Merry Christmas was still in our mouths
Mingled with our wedding vows
In her cap I did look like a sailor
As we sowed that frozen ground

In her pale pink party dress
She looked just like a princess
Easting cheeseburgers and cake
At such an unexpected age

She showed me all her special places
Her secret oasis
And sealed it with a kiss

Merry Christmas was still in our mouths
Mingled with our wedding vows
In her cap I did look like a sailor
As we sowed that frozen ground
As we sowed that frozen ground
