December 
Words and Music by Marc Lawrence  

INTRO (spoken):

Winter
Snow falling
Beauty in the whiteness
In the branches
In the winter barren trees
I walked to the bus stop
Waited long...
Lit up a cigarette
Took a few drags
Then threw it in the snow
Bus came and
I sank in a seat
Got off and
Started to walk
I felt hungry
I felt worn
The wind blew me
To my destination
I walked up some stairs
Opened a door and I
Walked in a room
I said goodbye to December

MAIN (Vocals):

It's getting late again
Let's say goodbye
Where'd I throw my shirt?
I see my tie

You're looking tired again
Go back to sleep
I'll be seeing you soon
Next time we meet

CHORUS:

Blame it on December
It's such a bad time of year
You know December
You return more than you keep

You're feeling sad again
Where is that smile?
Thanks for letting me forget
Just for a while

It's back to work again
So much to do
Is the coffee ready yet?
Do you want some too?

(chorus)

AND IT WAS WINTER...
