Family Ties

The smell of pine Nan's old piano Bamboo patterned mattresses all on the floor Bare feet, Jessie Street Plums line the sidewalk And carols and sleigh bells in 40 degrees I want to be 5 At year's end when December comes 'round And I try, to hear Santa at midnight Our family ties are all straight as an arrow And everyone seems to have time… Doesn't enter my mind This could be our last Christmas Remember when mum used to gift us new undies So it looked like more presents were under the tree And hear Dad in the kitchen He's stirring the custard Repeating one line from some song in the 60s I'd take 25 At year's end when December comes 'round I try to wrap presents at midnight And our family ties are a rod made of iron And everyone seems to have time… Doesn't enter my mind This could be our last Christmas I'm not pointing fingers I swear I'm the worst I get bogged down and busy And I truly believe If I just work harder There'll be more time to see ya But the harder I worked The less it came true Yeah, Mum's getting on We're not far behind her Sorry mum, you're still beautiful But it's hitting real hard When I'm hospitalised And I've got siblings not talking And here it comes, the most wonderful time of the year Now I'm 39 At year's end when December comes 'round And I try, but it's harder to bear When our family ties are all tattered and flailing And nobody seems to mind I want to be fine But every December I see how much farther we've drifted from home Our worlds blew apart Back in 2011 Then in 2019 was the start of the end Yeah I want to be fine Yeah I want to be fine I want to be fine It's getting harder with time Over there Where the sun sets Is a tiny glass window With a pine tree, a piano My brothers and sisters Our Rangi, our Nan, Mum, Dad Some cousins We're all singing, believing that future looks bright And one of those stories that I miss believing Is families will be together I guess that part was not meant to be true…
