They're painting the churches to cover the time that's pa**ed It's the 12th of December and the snow on the ground as the city gets one last laugh And turns the lights out It was easy to bury, the wickedness in my heart But was no one else sorry? Could no one else see that the ghosts that they'd left behind would not forget them? I've loved you so long I could've changed my mind I won't forget you I wouldn't want to Now it's dark on the corner, it's dark where we used to walk But I still remember the streets and the bars, the parks and the winter coats But the words escape me They're ringing the bells out Be sure that they ring for you You've been so disconnected But if there's blame for the fall then the blame need not fall on you You took your chances I've loved you so long I could've changed my mind I won't forget you I wouldn't want to I could've changed my mind I wouldn't want to You've always been ready to leave when you get your cue And I guess I'm no different I guess we're the same And I guess that you've guessed it too
