A Long December Lyrics - Recovering The Satellites - Counting Crows

A long December and there's reason to believe 

Maybe this year will be better than the last 

I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin' 

Now the days go by so fast 

And it's one more day up in the canyons 

And it's one more night in Hollywood 

If you think that I could be forgiven I wish you would 

The smell of hospitals in winter 

And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls 

All at once you look across a crowded room 

To see the way that light attaches to a girl 

And it's one more day up in the canyons 

And it's one more night in Hollywood 

If you think you might come to California I think you should 

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m. 

And talked a little while about the year 

I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, 

Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her 

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe 

Maybe this year will be better than the last 

I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself 

To hold on to these moments as they pass 

And it's one more day up in the canyon 

And it's one more night in Hollywood 

It's been so long since I've seen the ocean I guess I should 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
