Now it's christmas on the cape and I'm a tag-a-long friend

Another winter on the island mighta driven me insane.

It's been a series of cheery gatherings coming slow to a

close

And the last few can't seem to say goodbye

and in their laughter I'm dozing

And a knock on the door

It wakes me up with a start

You're standing there with your new love

Oh! Home of my heart!



I try to think of what I'm wearing, hoping none of its yours

I was amazed at what becomes you after everything goes

And I see...she doesn't have my slouch

And....she doesn't have my nose

And she doesn't have my luck

And...she doesn't have your clothes!!

It was out with the old

And you moved to the east

You were going for the gold

You were going to dazzle the beast



It was out with the old

And you moved to the east

You were after the gold

You were going to dazzle the beast



Well where's Houdini when you need him

to make a Joker an Ace

To make light of the moment

by turning Time back into Space
