lyrics

The winter's flaking snow is brushing through the wiry trees
I stuff my hands down deep inside my coat
I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
And faces that still warm me with their glow

The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
The sound of one man walking through the snow can break your heart
And stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go

And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere

The icy air I'm breathing is all that keeps me on my feet
I feel like I've been walking all my life
A car goes running by; the man don't even turn his head
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight

The saddest part of all is knowing if I switched with him
I'd leave him stumbling ragged by the road
I'd ride that highway to the arms of my sweet family
And forget about the stranger in the cold

And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere

And as I walk I'm singing to myself 'O Silent Night'
Hoping I can save those other souls
Oh, God forgive the man who drives right by the other man
Take pity on the stranger in the cold

Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
Yeah Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
