Forget December

On Christmas morning, outside was pouring
All was hopeless in this home
And no one was speaking; no one creeping
to see if she was on the phone

And you were quiet, this routine riot
was all but practical to me
and if we see it, why can't we beat it
can we let each other be?

Forget December, it won't be better
Than I remember it before
and this month only, will be so lonely
and not so homely anymore

New Years Eve came, but nothing had changed
all the problems just got worse
we sat in silence, no routine science
could heal the sickness we rehearse

And if I'm talking, my words are mocking
the deaf ears they have fallen on
These words are tainted, with years of jaded
Innocence that's all but gone

Forget December, it won't be better
than I remember it before
and this month only, will be so lonely
and not so homey anymore


On Christmas morning, outside was pouring
all was hopeless in this home
