Joe Goes Home at Christmas

[Verse]
Snow falls soft on the crooked lane
A suitcase dragging through the train
The air smells like pine and yesterday's rain

[Prechorus]
Joe's been gone for far too long
His heart still hums the old hometown song

[Chorus]
Joe goes home at Christmas
Where the lights still glow the same
Where the past feels close and whispers
And everyone remembers his name

[Verse 2]
The porch creaks like it always did
Laughter echoes from the kitchen's lid
Through the window
He sees where love hid

[Prechorus]
The clock ticks slow
But the fire's alive
Memories dance as the moments arrive

[Chorus]
Joe goes home at Christmas
To the streets he used to roam
To the faces he’s been missing
It’s the only place that feels like home
