Lullaby, December

I embrace you, December
Your darkness is my all
It's only in your winter nights
The blinding stars fall

I embrace you, December,
I'll always remember
When it's tempting to die,
You remind me again
Why I stay alive

I welcome December
You hold all my truth
All that I grieved
All of my youth

I embrace you, December,
I'll always remember
When it's tempting to die,
You remind me again
Why I stay alive

I bow to December
Your melancholy is mine
Aligned with your sadness
Is the healing with time

I embrace you, December

Lullaby, December
Wag me into sleep
Whisper your promise
That you're mine to keep

I embrace you, December,
I'll always remember
When it's tempting to die,
You remind me again
Why I stay alive

You hold all essential
I envy your grace
Remember me for another year
I'll long for you, December, to be here

I embrace you, December,
I'll always remember
When it's tempting to die,
You remind me again
Why I stay alive
