December
December is the cruellest month but this year for once my cheeks are warm After long years in the wilderness I'm ready for the storm Let them throw all their cannonballs let all their strong men come I'm ready to go anywhere through venom, sick and scum December isn't always cold This year she's mine and I know why Somewhere a flower has to grow for every flower that dies I'm stricken with fever but my heart is strong as steel I'm ready to go anywhere I can believe! I can feel! December is a trusted friend I always recognise her face It's a plague of fools thrown aside forever by her soft and silent grace She is reckless as a mayday gentle as a stone and ready to go anywhere to carry me back home Songtexte December fell deep in the bleak midwinter time when Jesus Christ howled a saviour baby's howl a primal truth as pure as ice And though we crucified him on a cross and dragged his words from prayer to curse He was able to go anywhere He was almost one of us Aus Songtexte Mania
