Miracle On Queen St

about

Growing up I watched a lot of Christmas specials & movies & because of this I know all about magic: it answers a wish, reunites loved ones, & turns a bitter humbug into a carol. But where does it come from? Goodness? Heaven? And where does it go? Do the laws of thermodynamics apply at the North Pole? If there's an answer I suppose that's where this song lies.

lyrics

He answers a wish
Brings the lonesome together
Takes all your humbugs
Turns them into a carol
Gold on your fingers
Trace the filigree
Strong as your hold
Has a hold over me

Failed resolutions
Used all the luck
Ran out of magic
Spilled all of the dust
Where does it go
Ash in the grate
Deep as the cold
That slows the blood in your veins

Wreaths for sale outside your apartment
Say "A Savior Is Born"
A light in a window at the end of the block
Looks inviting & warm

I should probably head home
Maybe this is the year that I finally move on
