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
