Fella Christmas Eve

[Verse 1 – lead] outside there’s a world of traffic and last-minute frantic lines inside here the glasses clink like small forgiving chimes we’re not dressed like any carol, not a choir in matching coats but the fellas on this christmas eve have songs caught in their throats [Verse 1 – background] (have songs caught in their throats) [Verse 2 – lead] one fella’s kid is fast asleep, another’s far from home one’s between a couple years that left him feeling mostly bone but the candles on the counter and the cold glass in our hand make a little piece of holy we can almost understand [Verse 2 – background] (we can almost understand) [Refrain – all] fella christmas eve tonight (eve tonight) soft and simple, warm and bright (warm and bright) we said “i’m dail milton” (milton) and it somehow felt just right (felt just right)
