Come December

I ain't much to look at
And I don't have much money
Folks around here
They don't think much of me
But oh, that's how it goes

Bad news does travel
And word gets around
I hear them whispering
All over town
You know, I knew she'd go
I knew she'd go, but oh

I don't need a way to remember
It'll all fade to grey come December

I live in delusion
You live in denial
A difference that we cannot reconcile
But oh, how should I know?

They say I'm from Mars
And you are from Venus
I can't cross over
This canyon between us
Oh, no, it's too far to go
It's much too far to go, but hey

I don't need a way to remember
It'll all fade to grey come December, yeah
The flame is gone
Not even an ember
A cold day will dawn come December, yeah

Well, I'm all alone
And the world just keeps spinning
I can't really tell
If it's the end or beginning
But oh, that's the way it goes
That's the way that it goes, yeah
But oh, yeah, come on now

I don't need a way to remember, oh
It'll all fade to grey come December, yeah, yeah yeah
The flame is gone
Not even an ember, oh, yeah
A cold day will dawn come December, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah
