[Verse]
I strung the lights 'cross the porch tonight
Flickering like stars in a fight
Oh so bright
But the wires tangle like my mind
Tight tight tight
[Chorus]
Oh Christmas glow
You shimmer
You shine
But why's my heart tangled in the line
Christmas glow
Don't leave me low
[Verse 2]
Harmonica wails
The cold wind bites
Whiskey in my cup
Lonely winter nights
Them lights don’t warm
They just ignite
[Prechorus]
A memory
A ghost
A flicker
Then toast
[Chorus]
Oh Christmas glow
You shimmer
You shine
But why's my heart tangled in the line
Christmas glow
Don't leave me low
[Bridge]
I lit 'em up
But the fuse blew fast
Like love that never seems to last
Flicker once
Gone in the past
