The Echoing Green - December lyrics

A broken heart

a rosy stain... forgotten pain

just a picture that you're always repainting

after the rain

Don't tell me that it's so worth saving

Don't tell me that it's so worth thinking back

Don't tell me you can hear forever

cause in this silence I can hear...

The sighs of December

that make you remember

the time soft and tender

when the world went white and

the snow was falling in your eyes

Reading the past

then the future came

way too fast

Always feeling like the page you're turning

is second to last

So do you fall apart

at the glimpse of memories running by?

You take shame to heart and

everyday fall victim to

The sighs of December

that make you remember

regret in it's splendor

when the world was wet with

the tears falling from your eyes

I can hear the sighs...

and the tears in your eyes.
