Calexico - Gift X-Change lyrics

rate me

You say you're leaving - going back home

Where's your family. where do you come from

Something's missing in your life. you've felt it all along

Retrace your steps, balance and check where it all went wrong

The spirit is broken. the path is overrun

You can't move forward and now nothing gets done

I hope you find some. in a peace along the way

Whatever it takes I pray you'll make it home on christmas day

In case you don't find what you need when you finally arrive

And your heart is snowed in there's no warmth or light

Take this candle with you and this book of matches as well

As you're climbing the walls there's no answer at all

Except the gift you give yourself

I trust that you'll find some in a peace through times that are rough

What would it take to hear you say the gift you give is love
