lyrics

You can buy me when you break me
You can love me when you hate me
You can take what all is given
Even in this frozen river
That’s a blizzard in a snowflake
But what’s coming is forgiven
Shine on me harmony in a universal rhythm

Holly on the doorframe
Footsteps comin’ my way
Mama she’s in the kitchen, she’s makin’ dinner
Darkness on the river
Snowdrifts on the highway
Headlights comin’ my way
If I could do it all again I’d still do it my way

I was driving through the mountains
On the night when you left me
And I took the road that I don’t usually take
That’s when I slammed on the breaks
I slammed on the breaks
There was a doe in the road
At the fork by the trees where we used to pretend to relate

Soul touches the bone
No amount of gold could ever make me stay
After what you said
I know what I know ‘cause I walked the path of the lonely road
My darlin’, my darlin’
This Christmas I’m here for the cake and the snow
There’s nothing else I think that I need to know

Holly on the doorframe
Footsteps comin’ my way
Mama she’s in the kitchen, she’s makin’ dinner
Darkness on the river
Snowdrifts on the highway
Headlights comin’ my way
And I can feel it on the wind on this winter’s day
Dark clouds are comin’ my way
My darlin’, my darlin’
This Christmas I’m here where the wind meets the cold
