December Lyrics - The Waterboys - Waterboys

December 

December is the cruelest month 

this time for once my cheeks are warm 

After long years in the monkey-house 

I am ready for the storm 

Let them throw all their cannonballs 

let all their strongmen come 

I'm ready to go anywhere 

through venom, sick and scum!

December isn't always cold 

this year she's mine, I know why 

Somewhere a flower has to grow 

for every flower that dies 

I'm stricken with fever 

but my heart is strong as steel 

I'm ready to go anywhere! 

I can believe I can feel! 

December is a trusted friend 

I always recognise her face 

It's a plague of fool thrown aside 

forever by her soft and silent grace 

She is reckless as a Mayday 

gentle as a stone 

She's ready to go anywhere 

to carry me back home!

December fell deep in the bleak 

winter time when Jesus Christ 

Howled to save your baby's howl 

primal truth as pure as ice 

And though we crucified him on a cross 

and dragged his word from payer to curse 

He was able to go anywhere 

he was almost one of us!
