about
I wanted to write a Christmas song for some time, this just wasn’t the year for it. I ended up noodling on my guitar, feeling particularly down about the coming festive season, which I think has some sadness about it for a lot of people anyway. It felt apropos of the current locked down, isolating time, to write a simple folk song on my guitar. I didn’t even want to sing, just something simple and nostalgic. As I wrote I felt better. I added horns and bells, it grew into something more hopeful, without it being cringey and I got some of my Christmas spirit back. I sang over it a few times, and improvised the lyrics over 10 or so takes until I tightened up some loose words.
I just sang about my loneliness, my hope for Christmas being a rare, happy moment to cling onto, however it comes - and my hopes for next year being better and reuniting with the people I’ve been missing so badly. It’s a tune for that. I hope it rings an internal jingle bell for whoever hears it.

lyrics
This year summer passed me by,
The leaves fell by July
The curtains quiver at my window, nothing on the other side
How will you keep me warm when the snow arrives?
We’re waiting for something new to come along
Got so many reasons to give up, but don’t
This time next year, I don’t know where we’ll be
But I’ll be waiting
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
For you
Coping with another morning staring at the walls, again, again
It’s not getting any easier to be alone
I don’t know how you sounded any more
Do you even want me in your arms again?
We’re waiting for something new to come along
Got so many reasons to give up, but don’t
This time next year, I don’t know where we’ll be
But I’m still waiting
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
For you
For you
This time next year, I don’t know where I’ll be
But I’ll be waiting
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
For you
I don’t know where I’ll be,
I’ll be waiting
I’ll bide my time
For you
I’ll be waiting
For you
The leaves fell by July
The curtains quiver at my window, nothing on the other side
How will you keep me warm when the snow arrives?
We’re waiting for something new to come along
Got so many reasons to give up, but don’t
This time next year, I don’t know where we’ll be
But I’ll be waiting
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
For you
Coping with another morning staring at the walls, again, again
It’s not getting any easier to be alone
I don’t know how you sounded any more
Do you even want me in your arms again?
We’re waiting for something new to come along
Got so many reasons to give up, but don’t
This time next year, I don’t know where we’ll be
But I’m still waiting
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
For you
For you
This time next year, I don’t know where I’ll be
But I’ll be waiting
I’ll bide my time
I’ll bide my time
For you
I don’t know where I’ll be,
I’ll be waiting
I’ll bide my time
For you
I’ll be waiting
For you
