Lyrics
Back before the curfew and this place smelled like a jungle
And everything in my life went wrong
There were waltzing patrolmen
And it wasn't always snowing
And the nights, the nights were lightning long
In my youth you could see across the water
The river danced blue in the sun
And I'd hold my honey's hand, lying in the sand
I never dreamt of killing anyone
Oh, I wish that it was Christmas
And I was looking through the window
Watching Aunt Holly tuck you into bed
Oh, I wish that I could wish that I was young more often
'Cause I'm tired of wishing I was dead
In my youth me and my friend David
Lied down together in the hall
And we'd kiss each other, hold each other
Wrote our names in blood on the wall
Oh, I wish that it was Christmas
And I was looking through your window
Watching Aunt Holly tuck you into bed
Oh, I wish that I could wish that I was young more often
'Cause I'm tired of wishing I was dead
Farther down the river stands the church of Jesus Christ
Where we rolled like dogs in the snow
And my darling daughter, I put you in the water
In the name of the Holy Ghost
Oh, I wish that I could love you
I wish that I could love you
Oh, I wish that I could love you back
I wish I was a painter or a jackhammer operator
Or repair TVs like my dad
I wish that it was Christmas
And I was looking in your window
Watching Holly tuck you into bed
I wish that I could wish that I was young more often
'Cause I'm tired, tired, tired of wishing I was dead
