lyrics
I hope this letter finds you well, my brother my old friend.
It guess it's lucky mum and dad are long gone and dead.
Remember how they always said we always let em down?
Well imagine what they'd have to say if they could see us now.
Well i'm praying for your heart and I'm praying for your soul
I'm praying they go easy when you come up for parole
We both know what you did for me when things went bad that day
Now I've got myself a debt that can ever be repaid.
My kids are with their mother now, you knew her as my wife
We're not married any more, and there's a new man in her life
Maybe I could have loved her better, but I couldn't have loved her more
But when the chips were down that didn't count for very much at all.
They asked me round for christmas, said I could come and share
But to see them round that table, well that's more than I could bear
To sit around pretending as if everythings ok-
I think it’s best for everyone if I just stay away
Chorus
Its Christmas time, Christmas time, Christmas time again
All the best to you and yours, your family and your friends.
Christmas time, christmas time, let's raise a glass of cheer.
I've got myself a job in a mining town out west
I just had to get away a while, give myself a rest.
They don't ask many questions here, they just let you live your life
They let you drink yourself to sleep if you want to, every night.
So keep your head down if you can, just make it through your time
When you get out there's a place to live and a job here at the mine.
Well I love you mate, and I'll raise a glass to you on christmas day.
I'll be drinking to the past, 'til I've drunk I'll it all away.
