The morning of the 26th the quiet’s pouring in
A drowsy drowsy sunlight on the empty cookie tin
The tree still stands a little tired in its corner by the stair
A sentinel of whispers and a fragrance in the air
I’m picking up the scattered bows the torn and festive paper
Each a little ghost of joy and of a joyful caper
The echoes of the carols are a distant muffled sound
As I sweep the fallen needles to the quietest corner found
It’s the Post-Holiday Blues a gentle soft comedown
The world’s gone back to normal lost its tinsel-gilded crown
But in this hollow in this calm a different feeling grows—
A tender kind of sweetness that the frantic season knows
Oh the Post-Holiday Blues a sentimental slow goodbye
To the magic that was borrowed from the grey December sky
And I’m holding holding holding to the warmth that’s left behind
A quiet love a deeper kind I finally get to find
The last of the good chocolate melting on my tongue
A single silver bauble by the radiator swung
I’ll pack the ornaments away with careful solemn hands
And store the light strings into neat obedient coiled bands
But on the sill I’ll leave a sprig of pine a stubborn bit of green
A fragile living promise of a world that’s still unseen
A bridge between the merriment and all the days to be
A souvenir of stillness just for me
It’s the Post-Holiday Blues a gentle soft comedown
The world’s gone back to normal lost its tinsel-gilded crown
But in this hollow in this calm a different feeling grows—
A tender kind of sweetness that the frantic season knows
Oh the Post-Holiday Blues a sentimental slow goodbye
To the magic that was borrowed from the grey December sky
And I’m holding holding holding to the warmth that’s left behind
A quiet love a deeper kind I finally get to find
So let the blues wash over like a slow and gentle tide…
With all the love it carried safely locked away inside…
The guests are gone the music’s done the candles have burned low…
But the embers in the fireplace still have a lasting glow…
A lasting glow…for me…to know…
Mmm…
