Christmas Morning (April 2010 ver)
This one was written very early one December morning, in a freezing cold train compartment, on my way home from College.
It was more than just the hard bunk and freezing temperatures inside that compartment that had kept me up this particular night.

Story behind the song
This one was written early one December morning, in a freezing cold train compartment, on my way home from College, during one of the winter breaks.
Those were the days when, like most other students I knew, I generally travelled by 2nd Class 3-tier, which meant the bogey was unheated and the bunk beds were 3-tiered wooden planks without any cushioning.
It was a 24 hour journey in those days, and less than comfortable, but, as I recall, it was more than just the hard bunk bed and freezing temperatures inside that compartment that had kept me up this particular night....
Lyrics
CHRISTMAS MORNING
Train is slow,
Day is dawning-
Feeling low,
Can't stop yawning-
Four o'clock,
And I'm still up:
Christmas morning...
Dark ringed eyes,
Didn't sleep now-
Quick good-byes,
I could weep now-
God, it's cold!
And I'm told
It's Christmas morning...
(Interlude)
Dark ringed eyes,
Didn't sleep now-
Quick good-byes,
I could weep now-
God, it's cold!
And I'm told
It's Christmas morning...
