How long has he shun in the distance?
How long has he hidden from view?
How long have you longed to belong to his world?
How often does he think of you?
I know a few things about fathers
I've met one or two in my day
And one thing I've learned
Is they always seem bigger and better
From farther away
You stare at the screen in December
You glimpse him each year on TV
A thick camel coat
With a scarf at his throat
And a smile that you only can see
Announced by a jingle of sleigh bells
He'll sail into view through the mist
He's handsome, he's tall
He's the substance of all
Of your dreams and he doesn't exist
Cold wind in his hair
Gold skyline behind him
I wish it were true
I wish we could find him
You're locked in the sorcerers castle
You're high in The Plaza Hotel
You're waiting for him to fly in through the window
And find you and shatter the spell
It's the fairytale fable at bedtime
And just at the end there's a twist
The petals turn black
The coachman turn back into rats
And he doesn't exist
This omen you've made
This future beside him
All just melts away
There's nothing inside him
He's longing to finally meet you
To make up the time that he's missed
To stand up at last
And put pain to the past
With his penitent heart in his fist
Not a moment too soon
And it isn't too late
And it isn't your fault
That he doesn't exist
