Was a long and
dark December
From the rooftops
I remember
There was snow
white snow
Clearly I remember
from the window
They were watching
while we froze
Down below
When the future
architecture
By carnival of
idiots on show
You better lie low
If you love me
won't you let me know
Was a long and
dark December
When the banks
became cathedrals
And the frost
became gone
Creased cut stones
and bibles
Are all out to fade
their rifles
And the cross was
held aloft
There in me and I
When I'm dead
hit the ground
Legs are cold
unfold
And If you love me
won't you let me know
I don't wanna be
a soldier
With a captain of
some sinking ship
With snow
Far below
So if you love me
why'd you let me go
I took my love
down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time
she was silenced still
So if you love me
won't you let me know
If you love me
won't you let me know
