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 till 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



I couldn't see



If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up

It's such a cold december

It's such a cold december
