December 20th Songtext

He knows not of it yet



On a cold winter day

A woman puts her make-up on

She's already set the table and breakfast's prepared

Soon her family is up, time to get them ready

For the rest of the day

The rest of the day



On the very same day
An old woman stirs and

With a screech the bed sighs, or is it bones?

She knows it's gonna be so hard to get up

Though she's been awake

Awake for long



Don't

Glass

Gather

Round

Ruby

Snow

Fell

Winter



Though they don't know yet

They will meet that day

They will gather round

They'll watch in horror



(x2) A bright winter day

A man leaps out

Out of the window

A red halo ‘round his head

Snowflakes fell like

Glass …



Don't (the urge of it)

Glass (the frailty of you)

Gather (the faces of you)

Round (it's just the pieces of you)

Ruby (the smell of it)

Snow (it's just the beauty of it)

Fell (the pieces of you)

Winter (it's just the cold of it all)



(x2) Though they don't know yet

They will meet that day

They will gather round

They'll watch in horror
