This Winter's flaking snow
is brushing through the wiry trees
and I remember the Christmas trees
The faces that still warm me with their love
hangs around me like a ghost
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
The sound of one man walking
Stopping doesn't help, so I'll not go
Christmas Eve can kill you
when you're trying to catch
The icy air I'm breathing
is all that keeps me on my feet
I feel like I've been walking all my life
Cardinals runnin' by, man,
Guess he's busy bein' sinful tonight
Says Paul in the office, no,
to the arms of my sweet family
Forget about the stranger in the tall
Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hit your ride
hoping I can save those other souls
who drives right by the outer man
Take pity on a stranger in the cold
Christmas Eve can kill you
when you're trying to hit your ride
It's Christmas Eve and it kill you
When you're trying to hit your rhymes
