cold december

i've been waiting

pacing along the halls ever since you left here

i've been cleaning

scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear

i can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore

i have not failed to be what you'd expect of me

swallowing glass just to stay pure

all the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say

i've got jackets blankets and sheets

its going to be a cold december

it could be warm you see

a statue next to me

swimming away from the ice and snow

could i have failed to see the signs in front of me

warning and flashing symbols

subtle and simple i couldn't see

i couldnt see

if only time could slow down

maybe i could come up

it's such a cold december

it's such a cold december

its so cold

i cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore

i have not failed to be what you'd expect of me

swallowing glass just to stay pure

summers come and summer has gone

your christmas cards cant comfort me

you've found new friends and tied all the ends

it's freezing in the loneliest winter

it could be warm you see

a statue next to me

swimming away from the ice and snow

could i have failed to see the signs in front of me

warning and flashing symbols

subtle and simple i couldnt see

i couldnt see

if only time could slow down

then maybe i could come up

it's such a cold december

it's such a cold december

it's so cold
