The christmas tree light burn in the daytime
And the sun shines bright in the valley below
The winds cuts thru you like memories do her
And the words of december got no place to go
She prayed on her knees and cried in the bedroom
Eighty some years left a spark in her eyes
She was ready and willin' to die any minute
She tried to help me Lord knows she tried
Chorus
What's done has been done indifferent possessions
They serve us awhile soon tossed by the way
But the blood of my past stilll runs warm and tender
And the words of december got no place to go
Free spirits shiver on the road to a freedom
Livin' a dream and leavin' what's right
The concious of winter freezes a plenty
And the words of december got no place to go
Chorus
So listen and wonder when church bells are ringin'
And the ground is cracklin' and frozen below
The sunshne dont matter in the distance you're after
And the words of december got no place to go
Chorus
Chorus
