Matthew Sweet December Dark
December dark
The leaves have long since fallen
The barren branches are all done
The days unwind without sun
December dark
The air so cold around me
My eyes so old, I can't see
My fears grow older than me
December dark
My roots start reaching downwards
Their vines are twisted around my lines
Then when the clouds part
That's where my mind blooms
I know I'm no longer December dark
Then when the clouds part
We start anew
There's no other way I know
Seasons to seasons cut since long ago
When it comes around again
My heart will bend like a bow
To shoot an arrow in the stone, arrow in the stone
It will soon be back, December dark
It will soon be back, December dark
And it will soon be back, December dark
And it will soon be back, December dark
December dark
December dark
It will soon be back, December dark
