A strand of your hair I found on my pillow
Two days after you left
I burned it alive like a stick of old willow
On the altar I built to your death
You’re still alive, at least that’s what they told me
Don’t have any definite proof
You left that night silent as a bandit
Maybe snuck away off of the roof
I thought I was there to hold and to soothe you
I thought we had something so strong
I thought we were right ’til the night when I tried to
hold tighter than you ever wanted
Walking the streets that we once were walking
Letting the rain hide my tears
It was colder last night than it’s been in a long time
Want to wash away all those years
Just one snowflake has fallen from heaven
One strand of your hair left behind
I wish I had kept it to wrap ’round my finger
To remember that you were once mine
I thought I was there to hold and to soothe you
I thought we had something so strong
I thought we were right ’til the night when I tried to
hold tighter than you ever wanted
A strand of your hair I found on my pillow
Two days after you left
I burned it alive like a stick of old willow
On the altar I built to your death
