Lyrics
I heard you laugh in a stranger’s song
That café down on Main felt all wrong
The barista said “honey” like you used to do
And I swear the wind whispered “I miss you too”
[stress]Your voice is in my hair, in the breeze when I walk
In the smile of a child, in late-night talk
It’s in headlights flickering on a midnight ride
In the hush of snow, when the world wants to hide
[stress]I tried to leave, but you’re still there
You're everywhere... and in my hair
That gas station still smells like your cologne
Even empty streets don't feel alone
A song on the radio hit too close
Like it knew all the words you loved the most
Your voice is in my hair, in a hug from a friend
In the “how’ve you been” I pretend to defend
It’s the shadow that dances on my wall at night
It’s the echo in rooms without a light
[stress]I let you go, but you're still there
You're everywhere... and in my hair
It’s just love that still remains
In the quiet, in the air
I still feel you… in my hair
You’re the wind I walk upon
Somewhere between gone and care…
Is your voice, still in my hair.
