It was such a cold and hollow night

I didn’t have anyone with me

In that car, that cold night

With no heat, remember?

You were working late.

Christmas eve

And I was fine

Waiting for you to finish your shift

And I was happy to do it.

That quiet was the sweetest danger

Me, in that part of town, that late

But I was there for you

And if I wasn’t, you would have folded

Like a rose when the termperature drops

To darn low

You didn’t bother checking to see

What time you got off work

You didn’t know what to tell me

I simply had to wait

Be there for you

Knowing that it would have been

The biggest inconvenience

For you to do the same

And I’m not saying

I was any more human or anything

I just had an uncanny ability

To turn it all off

To sit there in the cold

Waiting to enjoy you.
