Well, Merry Christmas on New Year's Eve
We can celebrate wherever we happen to be
One year gone
And another just comes rolling along
With you in my corner
And you by my side
CHORUS:
So deck the halls!
Deck the halls with holly
And drink a cup!
Drink for auld lang syne
For old acquaintance ain't forgot
But remember that I'm loving you better each day
Cause it's true--
That I see more of your angles and crevices too
And I like them
And you can see mine
CHORUS
Well, Merry Christmas on New Year's Eve
Oh, I've got a few more million tricks up my sleeve
Like you do
You can trust me, babe, I won't underestimate you
In the new year
And who have I found here?
CHORUS

Catch My Drift

We met so long ago
An ocean of time away
And though the tide it rolls out
A couple dozen times a day
It never pulled us in
Just tickled at our skin
Effortlessly devoted
And like a barnacle I cling
To a good thing--
Well I never planned
Two years of cross-the-border one-night stands
But it couldn't be done
With just anyone
And when the winters come
And all the waters freeze
Our electric body heat will
Dissolve whatever comes between
So keep on holding tight
The way you always do
I promise I won't bite
I'm not a natural predator
Like you
Well I always said
All long-distance relations wind up dead
But it couldn't be done
With just anyone
I let the water run!
I threw my caution off a cliff!
I'm having so much fun
You always catch my drift
Well I never planned
Two years of cross-the-border one-night stands
But it couldn't be done
With just anyone

Vermont

In northern climes we'd bundle up so tight
Protected from the cold November wind
We could hibernate like
A couple bears and wear each other's skin
And soon enough we'll find each other there
Breathing the New England summer air
Open up the curtains
And all the world is sitting there
Cause in Vermont there's a solar eclipse every night
Stars are scattered, flickering and bright
Evening falls so breathlessly
And everything is quiet
Well don't confuse me for romantic types
I could never live up to the hype
But by the Eastern Seaboard
Anything could happen and it might
And maybe you won't even want me there
Taking space and breathing all your air
But I've seen us together
Enough to know there's something there
Cause in Vermont there's a solar eclipse every night
Stars are scattered, flickering and bright
Evening falls so breathlessly
And everything is quiet
Everything is quiet
