| I've always seen it as the song of a couple who start off remembering the past on Christmas Eve, then get into a long argument and scream at everyone how much they hate each other. Yet somehow, as the bells ring out for Christmas Day, they realise how much they depend on one another. He may be drunk and she may be cold, but their dreams still belong together. (I like the way the last verse seems to tie the two different melodies of the song together.) | |
