Nightingale - December Song Lyrics

Sunset Rubdown Nightingale - December Song

So let me hammer this point home
I see us all as lonely fires
That have burned alive as long as
We remember

But like all fires
And all sunsets
We all burn in
Different ways
You are a vast explosion and I am the embers

And though your flames are quick and mean
They will not last the year
But expire like a sudden falling star
That only nightingales had seen before
Migrating to southern jungles and
In this way you will come find me
In December
Annanana!

He said he’d like to move to Nashville
To master the guitar
Where he would live a single day
The way I lived a single year

Covered his body in mud
Went hunting for the sun
Then went swimming in a lake of holy water

Oh you are too hot for me
I am too slow for you
You are a vast explosion and I’m the embers

You need the one who slowly burns
And burns to stay alive
And in this way you will come find me
In December

Oh oh oh…

So let me hammer this point home
I see us all as lonely fires
That are burned alive as long as we remember
But like all sacrificial virgins
We all burn in different ways
You are a vast explosion and I’m the embers!

And though your flames are quick and mean
They will not last the year
But expire like a sudden shooting star
That only nightingales had seen before
Transforming into bluebirds and
In this way you will come find me in December.
