Cold December

A# A# D# A# I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here D# A# I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear A# D# A# 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 D# F Swallowing glass just to stay pure A# D# All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say A# D# A# 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 F D# Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see F I couldnt see A# (trim) D# G If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up G D# F G D# F It's such a cold december It's such a cold december Its so cold
