Dark-Eyed December

Dark-eyed December, darling
The way you held my head
Try to make love when bells are ringing
And to escape your bed
I am in denial about what you said last night

Like a fallen child I'm climbing fences
To think this body is the same
To think you broke down my defenses
The second you pronounced my name
I'm preparing for the shame, the morninglight

I feel it darken when morning's supposed to come
I know where I live, I just don't know where I belong
Dark-eyed December, take my soul
I love you 'til the day I die
But life calls on us to say goodbye

Dark-eyed December, darling
The way you said my name
I'm preparing for the shame, the morninglight

I feel it darken when morning's supposed to come
I know where I live, I just don't know where I belong
Dark-eyed December, take my soul
I love you 'til the day I die
But life calls on us to say goodbye
