Hold me through the deep and dark December Haven't seen the sun forever Be the breath beneath my embers You and me, we know How long this goes So take me home And hold me close Hold me through the bleak midwestern winter Though we're breathing ghosts and shiver Be the warmth in my December You and me, we know How long this goes So take me home And hold me close You and me, we know How long this goes So take me home And hold me close Hold me when the winter's all that's in sight By the hand, take me to lamplight Be the melting snow of springtime
