DECEMBER SKIES

 MYSTERY LIES IN THE COLD

SKIES OF DECEMBER

AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER

BACK WHEN THINGS WOULD NEVER CHANGE

THEN ONE DAY, IT ALL WENT AWAY

EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WAS GONE

THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS 

SUPPOSED TO GO ALONG 

I WOKE UP I WAS ALL ALONE

MUST BE A REASON I'M NOT GOING

I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD LAUGH OR CRY

ALL I CAN DO IS SIT HERE

AND WONDER WHY

ITS A DIFFERENT WORLD TODAY

GETTING SMALLER ALL THE TIME

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT FINDS

ITS ALL A LITTLE STRANGE

THIS FEELING THAT NEVER LETS ME GO

THIS FEELING THAT DOES ITS BEST

TO HAUNT MY SOUL

LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER

IS THERE SOMETHING THAT I LOST

LEFT BEHIND

SOMETHING THAT SLIPPED MY MIND

THERE'S NO RAINBOWS

IN DECEMBER SKIES

ONLY HOLLOW HELLOS AND GOODBYES 

COLD WINDS BLOWING

DRIVING THE SNOW

NOWHERE TO GO, I CAN'T SEE

I CAN'T SAY I MIND

I GUESS I'LL STAY PUT

STARE INTO THIS FIRE

GET LOST SOMEWHERE INSIDE MY THOUGHTS

WHEN THE SKIES OF DECEMBER

ARE COMING DOWN COLD AND GRAY

AND THE WORLD OUTSIDE IS PAINTED IN WHITE

YOU CAN HARDLY TELL 

THE DAY FROM THE NIGHT

TIME SLOWS DOWN, STICKS AROUND

TUCKED UP INSIDE YOUR LOVE

BRACED FROM WINTERS NIGHT

GUESS ITS REALLY NOT SO BAD

LOOKING BACK ON THE TIMES I'VE HAD

MAYBE TOMORROW

WE'LL GET TO SEE THE SUN SHINING DOWN

KEEPING WINTER ON THE RUN

IF THAT'S THE BEST WE CAN GET

THAT WILL DO YOU BET

HERE UNDER DECEMBER SKIES
