Was a long and dark December

From the rooftops I remember

There was snow white snow

Clearly I remember from the windows

They were watching while we froze

Down below

When the future architecture

By carnival of idiots on show

You better lie low

If you love me won't you let me know

Was a long and dark December

When the banks became cathedrals

And the frost became gone

Creased cut stones and bibles

Are all out to fade their rifles

And the cross was held aloft

There in me and I

When I'm dead hit the ground

Legs are cold unfold

And If you love me won't you let me know

I don't wanna be a soldier

With a captain of some sinking ship

With snow

Far below

So if you love me why'd you let me go

I took my love down to Violet Hill

There we sat in snow

All that time she was silenced still

So if you love me won't you let me know

If you love me won't you let me know
