I Want To Be Alone On Christmas (Here With You)
Wind and rain, leads to snow and more wind,
and I have worked eleven hours to see you, my friend.
I know I shouldn't go, down streets that I don’t know,
but I can't think of any other way.
My bus just passed me by, and it's too cold to cry,
Tomorrow will be better than today
I wanna be alone on Christmas, be alone on Christmas
There's nothing else that I would rather do.
Be alone on Christmas; be alone on Christmas
Be alone on Christmas here with YOU!
Tis the season, so they like to say,
But on the sidewalk it is freezing, and the snow is grey.
The shoppers on the street are stepping on my feet,
I’m glad I wore my heavy boots today.
I think I see our front porch light; I can't wait for a silent night
A merry peaceful quiet holiday.
I wanna be alone on Christmas, be alone on Christmas
There's nothing else that I would rather do.
Be alone on Christmas; be alone on Christmas
Be alone on Christmas here with …YOU! Loo loo loo loo loo looo

All aboard the Milwaukee Road
Blinding as the sun is shining on the snow
Outside the bright hits your soul
Reaffirming something you already know
Trees like a strobe light flashing in your eyes
Could be the moment when you realize
A great time to go back
And would you believe it now, you don't need to pack
A great time to go back is now.
Winding down the valley wide
The only place where you can see the other side
Climbing up to the sunny sky
Through a frosted window will materialize
Trees like a strobe light flashing in your eyes
Could be the moment when you realize
A great time to go back
And would you believe it now, you don't need to pack
A great time to go back is now.

Testa Rosa Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Ever glance down at the speedometer and realize those cherries in the rear view really are for you? How could they know that heart-crushing pop music was to blame. Testa Rosa writes songs to make you remember love and forget the speed limit.
