Rings

I waited there for you in a twinkling snowfall
Evading every truth to stubbornly stand tall
And you passed hand in hand with a better man
My flames lit up the night
As everything I’ve waited for
Is runnin' out that open door
With everything I’m tryin' to be
Will everything I sacrifice
Find me in another life
With everything I fail to see?
Beneath the fallin' snow, I let you go
And whispered your name
And though I wanted you so
I put a ring on every finger but one
(I put a ring on every finger but one)
The snow began to melt as a fire erupted
Every flake fell away, just like our love did
My body burnin' bright on the side of a street
My ashes take its place
As everything I’ve waited for
Is runnin' out that open door
With everything I’m tryin' to be
Will everything I sacrifice
Find me in another life
With everything I fail to see?
Beneath the falling snow, I let you go
And whispered your name
And though I wanted you so
I put a ring on every finger but one
Now here’s one last twinkling Christmas
When I was alone the whole way home and have been since
But my reckless heart relentlessly persists
As everything I’ve waited for
Is runnin' out that open door
With everything I’m tryin' to be
Will everything I sacrifice
Find me in another life
With everything I fail to see?
Beneath the falling snow, I let you go
And whispered your name
And though I wanted you so
I put a ring on every finger but one
