Not just another day
The Christmas sun did rise
There’s nothing like coming home
To a dangling surprise

She didn’t need thirteen steps
A chair it did just fine
But there were footprints on the wall
Maybe she changed her mind

She’d wrapped up all my gifts
And left a note by candlelight
She said this was the only way
To keep her soul inspired

She didn’t need thirteen steps
A chair it did just fine
But there were scratches on the wall
Maybe she changed her mind

Will they bury her in handcuffs?
Because you know it is a crime
To take your life in place of
Suffering, alive

Not just another day
The Christmas sun did rise
There’s nothing like coming home
To a dangling surprise

She wrote there ain’t no Merry Christmas
When you’re crippled inside
But there were footprints on the wall
Maybe she changed her mind
