Christmas Eve Can Kill You歌词

[00:06.42]The winter's flaking snow is brushin' through the pinewood trees
[00:12.61]I stuff my hands deep down inside my coat
[00:19.22]I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
[00:25.81]And faces that still warm me with their glow
[00:32.34]The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
[00:38.73]I listen to my footsteps in the snow
[00:45.44]The sound of one man walking through the snow can break your heart
[00:51.99]And stopping doesn't help, so I'll go on
[00:58.80]And Christmas eve can kill you
[01:01.92]When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
[01:11.63]The icy air I'm breathin's all that keeps me on my feet
[01:18.25]I feel like I've been walking all my life
[01:24.85]A car goes runnin' by; the man don't even turn his head
[01:31.58]Guess he's busy bein' Santa Claus tonight
[01:37.93]The saddest part of all is knowin' if I switched with him
[01:44.56]I'd leave him stumbling ragged by the road
[01:51.14]I'd ride that highway to the arms of my sweet family
[01:57.82]And forget about the stranger in the cold
[02:04.37]And Christmas eve can kill you
[02:07.65]When you're tryin' to hitch a ride to anywhere
[02:14.05]And as I walk I'm singing to myself 'O Silent Night'
[02:24.00]Hopin' I can save those other souls
[02:30.43]Oh, God forgive the man that drives right by the other man
[02:36.77]Take pity on the stranger in the cold
[02:43.71]Cause Christmas eve can kill you
[02:47.07]When you're tryin' to hitch a ride to anywhere
