Angel Hair
There's angel hair
And Christmas lights
It's been so long, was it Christmas night
Or maybe it was Christmas Eve
So cold outside, what would make a person leave
On a cold highway
Ice that is black
Make a person leave
Not come back
Not a day goes by
I don’t think about you
​
It was a place so sweet
Was a place so right
You were standing in the window
In the blinking lights
Were there tears on your face?
Was it ice on the pane?
And the radio said
You 'ought to use chains
On a cold highway
Ice that is black
Make a person leave
Not come back
Not a day goes by
I don’t think about you
​
Well it's been so long that I don’t know
Not a day goes by ten years or so
Not a day goes by
I don’t think about you
​
It's a short time coming
A long time gone
I try not use a word like wrong
But I carry a torch
It burns my hand
I’d like to lay it down
In the promise land
But there is nothing in sight
No way back
It’s a cold highway
Ice that is black
Not a day goes by
I don’t think about you
​
There's angel hair
And Christmas lights
It's been so long, was it Christmas night
Or maybe it was Christmas Eve
It's so cold outside, what would make a person leave
On a cold highway
Ice that is black
Make a person leave
Not come back
Not a day goes by
I don’t think about you
​
Not a day goes by
I don’t think about you
