Lyrics
Christmas comes later each year
Fire in my eyes faded
The lights that we strung haven?t come down
My neighbors all hate it
December air, Georgia snow?
Not surprised that it?s rare, just wanted you to know
That night I lived, and I haven?t since
The wind that brought you in won?t blow
I watch the street, my window?s bare
Hair in the light, skin so fair
When the night gets cold my hope does too
Waiting on you
What more can I do? What more can I say?
Being stuck here takes longer each day
Were you ever here? Were you ever true?
No road could take me further from you
No summer sun could warm me till
Pictures of you move
The moons that we hung I still haven?t shot down
But the knot that we tied is loose
I watch the street, my window?s bare
Your hair in the light, your skin so fair
When the night gets cold my hope does too
Waiting on you
What more can I do? What more can I say?
Being stuck here takes longer each day
Were you ever here? Were you ever true?
No road could take me further from you
Christmas came?your letter did too
With a train ticket stub, dated
The lights that we hung still haven?t come down
My neighbors all hate it
