lyrics
------

got your ticket home in your cold hands
merry as a schoolboy, giddy as a drunken man
we catch sight of old acquaintances
season’s greetings in the chatter of a frozen breath

nothing so contagious
laughter and good nature

reindeer tracks in the snow
embrace on the platform
it’s cold out there, but i will keep you warm

when we pull out into winter night
and the real snow, our snow, begins to stretch outside
the dim lights of small wisconsin towns
a little solemn with the feel of winter coming down

nothing so contagious
laughter and good nature

reindeer tracks in the snow
embrace on the platform
it’s cold out there, but i will keep you warm
reindeer tracks in the snow
and the world feels right
merry christmas to all, to all a good night
