Ryan Adams ist dem lyrisch hochinteressanten „Hey Parker, It’s Christmas“ auf dem Sampler „The Year They Recalled Santa Claus“ vertreten, auf dem außerdem so unterschiedliche Bands wie Jet, die Flaming Lips oder Outkast vertreten sind
Ring-a-ding-ding, sleigh bells ring
Ice breaks on the concrete in the city street
Ring-a-ding-ding, sleigh bells ring
Taxicab movies in our heads and cigarettes
Oh, my word
Parker, will you take my hand?
Parker, will you take my hand?
It’s Christmas timeBridges close down on the L – I – E
Tiny lights fading out in Jersey City
Snow white room on the snow white clouds
Taxicabs disappear like keys in lost & found bins
Oh, my word
Parker, will you take my hand?
Parker, will you take my hand?
It’s Christmas timeI wish you were here with me now
It’s Christmas time
I wish you were here with me now
It’s Christmas timeBut it’s summertime, summertime, summertime
