Last Christmas With Dad (Tiny Red Lines) (Radio Edit) ft. in analysis & Emily Denton Lyrics

Feels like the time all passed in a blur

Glued to the TV, rules changing so fast

It's hard to remember how scared we all were

A crowd, a hug; they were things of the past

We came out of hiding and stood at our doors

Once a week for some brief well-intentioned applause

Two tiny red lines, though ever so faint

Divided us two years in a row

We kept our distance with little complaint

Though time was much shorter than we could know

Others fared worse than we did, so I'm

Not saying we had it so bad

It's just that it seems a very long time

Since that last Christmas with dad

Even approaching a hospital bed

Felt like placing a bet in a high stake's casino

So they probably weren't wrong when they said

"We'd better hold off on the next round of chemo"

Showered with curses, the doctors and nurses

We're working around the clock

There was death all around us, so I guess when it found us

It shouldn't have come as a shock

Two tiny red lines, though ever so faint

Divided us two years in a row

We kept our distance with little complaint

Though time was much shorter than we could know

Others fared worse than we did, so I'm

Not saying we had it so bad

It's just that it seems a very long time

Since that last Christmas with dad

We were made to feel fools for following rules

When we glimpsed through the windows of Number Ten

Champagne glasses clinking, you couldn't help thinking

It was one law for us and another for them

Two tiny red lines, though ever so faint

Divided us two years in a row

We kept our distance with little complaint

Though time was much shorter than we could know

Others fared worse than we did, so I'm

Not saying we had it so bad

It's just that it seems a very long time

Since that last Christmas

Since that last Christmas with dad
