Counting Stars - Kate & Anna McGarrigle[00:00:00]
Every year I think about coming back[00:00:30]
Seems like so much more[00:00:33]
Time goes by than that[00:00:34]
Hard to believe it's all real time[00:00:37]
I'm sorry I can't be there[00:00:45]
With everyone on Christmas[00:00:46]
To help bring in wood for the fire[00:00:48]
And carry a stack of warm plates[00:00:50]
To the table where the goose is served[00:00:53]
I got in damned trouble again[00:00:59]
It's like every year I get[00:01:02]
In trouble at Christmas time[00:01:03]
Is to where I expect in the rain[00:01:06]
And the darkness of November[00:01:10]
Leaves me feeling lost and hopeless[00:01:12]
So I went to a bar by myself to try and forget[00:01:17]
That I had nothing and no one[00:01:21]
And I got into a fight with a big loud jock[00:01:24]
He left me counting stars on the floor[00:01:27]
Every damn year is the same[00:01:36]
I say I'll come home[00:01:39]
Once I got a little more to show for myself[00:01:40]
Than just getting in trouble[00:01:43]
We were counting stars on the ski slopes[00:01:57]
Wearing all our clothes up against winter's snap[00:02:00]
Scampering up hell to steal a run[00:02:03]
On the Mohawk toboggan[00:02:06]
And later on we watched the hockey game[00:02:11]
With beer and cigarettes[00:02:13]
And finally we lay down to sleep[00:02:16]
In the small beds of our childhood[00:02:18]
Counting stars with the wavy glass[00:02:21]
Of the old storm windows[00:02:24]
On the big long crazy[00:02:28]
Mohawk toboggan[00:02:30]
