december came faster than most
D G G/F#
and before we knew it , it was cold
Em C
and you turned to me
D G C G
as if to say that we should not have come this way
G G/F# Em C D G
you didn’t ask a question , so i had no reply
G C
and we came upon a congregation
D G G/F#
and we turned our faces to the constellation
Em C D G
singing we are both believers now
G C G
but still there was no voice in the clouds
G G/F# Em
you see , the stars are not our conscience
C D G
they are just another light in our eyes
Em
in our eyes
C D G
they are just another light keeping us blind
G C
long time i have left umeah
D G G/F#
long time travelled in your company
Em C D G
but i see the road before us is split
G C G
and i know that i should follow it
G G/F# Em
but i know that i will find you
C D G
when the morning spreads it’s breath across the night
Em
find you
C D G
in the morning at the end of my life

G C
december’s roads are long and they’re tough
D G G/F#
and sometimes i get really tired and stuck
Em C D G
but i keep the thought that when i die
C D G
they will carry me and lay me by your side
C D G
they will carry me and lay me by your side
Em
and there amongst the dirt
C D G
at last our roads again will merge
