Julie on her second tour reminiscing
Three Decembers in New York City
Selling fir trees
Pack a truck with 90 fir trees
Pack 'em tight

Julie on her second tour reminiscing
The cassette of Daydream Nation worn out
The Bernadette Peters autograph on my cast
The CBGB T-shirt I'm wearing

The drive down from St. John's
Was almost always easy
The drive back
On Christmas Day was not

the St John in that song isn't St John's, NFLD, alas, but St John, New Brunswick (closer to Julie's stomping grounds)

Oh lord, how embarrassing of me... Apologies, my Canadian friends!

(I did read The Shipping News long before it was an Oprah book of the month if that gives me a tiny bit more credibility!)
