Isn’t it funny?
That today of all days
Winter decides to grace
Our Texas skies
And the sun
Though it’s rays are numbered
Seems to find a way
To break through
The clouds that hang up high
I’ve heard people say you’re long gone away
And I should try to forget sadness and move on
But it’s not sadness that I’ve been feeling all this time
It’s a want for your heart that keeps me down
And it beats and it beats inside of me
Inside of every child and every love
It’s the heart of us all, it will always make us whole
You’ve got to listen with every ounce of your soul
Isn’t it funny?
That today of all days
I’d have to go about it
Like it was any other day
And yet I carry this hurt
This pain that I just cannot take
And this mystery I could never solve
Of how one man could mean so much to me
I’ve got a mixed load of baggage
And every case is sealed
With emotions and words that I
Couldn’t bear to reveal
But it’s been a year
And it still feels like you’re here
To help me carry my baggage home
And I know you are the whispering wind
I can feel your smile every time it brushes past my face
I swear I could smell your house on my clothes
Just like every Christmas drive back to my home
