Leapin' over hurricanes
To get back to you, my love
It is almost Christmas Eve
And I need to find my way back home
Keep some yule tide safe for me
I hope tonight I make it back
I smell the tree inside my dreams
I see the smoke from the chimney stack

How'd you like them lords a-leapin'?
That I sent to you today
How'd you like some pipers pipin'?
Get ready, they're about to come your way

Blast these hills and shoot these stars
I can't see worth a penny in the dark
I must be getting close to your house
Getting so close it can't be far
Make a cup of cocoa just for me
Set it by the fireplace or the tree
Tell my family not to go
In a minute or two that's where I'll be!

Now I'm pullin' into the drive
Everything's gonna be alright
We can spend some time together
Before the big shindig the next two nights
