Текст песни «Over The Rhine - Here It Is»

I cried when I wrote this, Iall always remember
The worst kind of lonely is alone in December
The act of forgiveness is always a mystery
The meltina of ice and the future of history, yeah

Some call it obsession, I call it commitment
I make my confession, I make it in public
I hope that itas helpful, that others can use it
That itas more than my ego, my need to abuse it

Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
And here it is

The leaves on the oak tree hold on through the winter
Theyare brown and theyare brittle and they clatter together
I canat seem to let go, Iam so scared of losina
The deeper the love goes, the deeper the bruisina, yeah

The trouble with talkina is it makes you sound clever
And the trouble with waitina is youall just wait forever
Thereas a loop of excuses that plays in your mind
And makes the truth even harder to find

Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
And here it is

When they blow Gabrielas horn, rip fiction from fact
I wanna get caught in some radical act
Of love and redemption, the sound of warm laughter
Some true conversation with a friend or my lover, yeah

Somewhere down the road weall lift up our glass
And toast the moment and the moments past
The heartbreak and laughter, the joy and the tears
The scary, scary beauty of whatas right here

Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas, yes
Iam wrappina up my love this Christmas
And here it is

Oh, here it is
Oh, oh, oh, here it is, yeah
Oh, oh, here it is
Here it is
