The Wildflowers - Christmas Will Find Us
The boxes come out every December
From the closet by the stairs
We find the lights we thought were missing And the ornaments we
forgot were there
Some years the house feels different
Some years the table does too
But somehow when the first song starts Christmas comes looking for you
Christmas will find us
Wherever we are
Down some old highway
Or under some unfamiliar stars
Christmas will find us
No matter how far
Some things have a way of coming back
To where we are
There were years we couldn't make it
There were years we stayed too long
There were people at the table
Who aren't here to sing along
There were little ones who grew up
And old friends who moved away
But somebody still hangs the lights And somebody still says,
“Christmas Day”
Maybe it isn't in the weather
Maybe it isn't in the snow
Maybe it's the way a familiar song Can take you somewhere you
know
Maybe it's the people we remember
Maybe it's the ones we've just begun
Maybe Christmas isn't something we find
Maybe it finds
everyone
Even after all these years… (Christmas will find us)
Even when the road gets long… (Christmas will find us)
Christmas will find us
Wherever we are
Around somebody's kitchen Or underneath a different sky
Christmas will find us
It always has so far
Through every year we've lived through
And every place we've been
Christmas will find us When we're ready or not
In a familiar old song Or a memory we forgot Christmas will
find us And bring us back around
To the people and the places That still feel like home somehow
Christmas will find us
Christmas will find us
Christmas will find us
Wherever
we are
It always finds us.
