Watch the thread of light, trace the day

In all these shape I play, and as they rise and fade

There's a cherry full of night

Marigold and mandarin

With a burstin sunset slips between all my busted dreams of sky linen

And I won't fear

For every morning I have left

For every day that I'll draw breath

And while I still have love to give, girl

Would you let me be

As cold December blows inside of me

Well I've been running like a child and all this time I have been careless and fancy free

A city boy with senses numb, and now my Christmas comes all at once

And this is where I'll start... Now I know I love my heart

A Whitechapel it marks the day as sure as my pen marks the page

And I won't fear

For every morning I have left

For every day that I'll draw breath

And while I still have love to give, girl

Would you let me be

As cold December blows inside of me

Cause all this time I've been

And all this time I've been a cold December blows inside of me

Cause all this time I've been

And all this time I've been a cold December blows inside of me

For every morning I have left

For every day that I'll draw breath

And while I still have love to give, girl

Would you let me be

As cold December blows inside of me
