Footsteps (feat. Michael Van London)

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
What's coming is forgiven
Shine on me, harmony
In a universal rhythm

Holly on the doorframe
Footsteps coming my way
Mama, she's in the kitchen, she's making dinner
Darkness on the river
Snowdrifts on the highways
Headlights coming 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 brakes
I slammed on the brakes
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 a walk with my ghosts
The seeds that you reap are the seed that you sow

Holly on the doorframe
Footsteps coming my way
Mama, she's in the kitchen, she's making dinner
Darkness on the river
Snowdrifts on the highways
Headlights coming my way
And I can feel it in the wind on this winter's day
Dark clouds are coming my way

My darlin' (my darlin')
This Christmas
I'm here where the wind meets the cold
