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's architectured |
|
By a carnival of idiots on show |
|
You'd better lie low |
|
If you love me |
|
Won't you let me know? |

Was a long and dark December |
|
From the rooftops I remember |
|
There was snow (there was snow) |
|
White snow (white snow) |
|
Clearly I remember |
|
From the windows they were watching |
|
While we froze (while we froze) |
|
Down below (down below) |
|
When the future's architectured |
|
By a carnival of idiots on show |
|
You'd 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 a fox (and a fox) |
|
Became God (became God) |
|
Priests clutched onto bibles |
|
Hollowed out to fit their rifles |
|
And the cross (and the cross) |
|
Was held aloft (was held aloft) |
|
Bury me in honour |
|
When I'm dead and hit the ground |
|
A love back home, it unfolds |
|
If you love me |
|
Won't you let me know? |
|
I don't want to be a soldier |
|
Who the captain of some sinking ship |
|
Would stow (would stow) |
|
Far below (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 silent still |
|
So if you love me |
|
Won't you let me know? |
|
If you love me, |
|
Won't you let me know? |
