Lyrics

Down on the Northwest Admin Station
We struggled with luggage in the aisle
We went for the same seat together
That's when I first saw your smile
We were heading home for Christmas
With a sprinkle of snow on the ground
You were heading north to Albany
While I was Chicago bound
As we pulled out of the station
A blizzard of snow had blown in
The train was more like a Zamboni
To no more than five or ten
The conductor passed out blankets
To ease the sharpness of the storm
We laughed when we had to share one
Wrapped together to stay warm
We were snow blocked in Poughkeepsie
On the eve of Christmas Eve
On a train full of people
Heading home on Christmas leave
Two strangers in Poughkeepsie
And a snowstorm tempted fate
For you I was a love too early
For me you were a love too late
We talked away the passing hours
Oh, the chemistry was like glue
I didn't want the snow to melt
Just one more bottle now with you
The night grew in in Poughkeepsie
You fell asleep in my embrace
I can see the reflection in the window
Of that beautiful smile on your face
We woke up, the train was moving
The next stop Albany was the cry
I can still see the pain on the platform
Of that long kiss goodbye
No parting words were needed
As we finally let go
Oh, that Christmas in Poughkeepsie
Two lost hearts in the snow
We were snow blocked in Poughkeepsie
On the eve of Christmas Eve
On a train full of people
Heading home on Christmas leave
Two strangers in Poughkeepsie
And a snowstorm tempted fate
For you I was a love too early
For me you were a love too late
For you I was a love too early
For me you were a love too late
