George canyon bird in december lyrics

It sure is cold this morning

They're hangin' lights in the trees downtown

The Indian summer is over 

The Fall fell away and blew out with the cold northern wind

He swore forever couldn't measure his love

But she's all alone under gray skies above



Like a bird in December

Who didn't fly South

Time just ran out

She's a bird in December

Hearts that love blind

Sometimes get left behind



Her feathers are too bright for this dull town

Her colors are all wasted here

She followed him here for the summer

But like seasons all disappear, suddenly he was gone

It's all so much clearer watching from the outside

We all saw it coming, she didn't get out in time



She's a bird in December

Who didn't fly South

Time just ran out

She's a bird in December

Hearts that love blind

Sometimes get left behind



Oh, the Winter won't last, the sun will come out

Well, I know she'll find love again, but right now 



She's a bird in December

Like a bird in December

Who didn't fly South

Time just ran out

She's a bird in December

Hearts that love blind

Sometimes get left behind



The storm it won't last... December will pass
