lyrics

Early December, I waited for my love to come home.
Her hair shined like a ghost in the cold winter moon.
Later that night by the fire I drifted to sleep.
And she brought me to a dream with her infinite warmth.

Isn't it strange how we live our lives like we'll never die?
Some things we'll change and some things we'll only try.

The sunrise, it shined like breath through the frozen oak trees.
She rose, closing the curtains to keep out the time.
Later at noon, waking up, I gazed at the woods.
She paused, standing for a moment before she turned towards the world.

Isn't it strange how we live our lives like we'll never die?
Some things we'll change and some things we'll only try.

Though I still taste the wine on my tongue, it dries my mouth.
Though the wind will cool my brow, this hill will make me sweat.
Am I too far? Should I return?
How can I change if I refuse to learn?
