Watch the thread of light, trace the day In all these shape I play, and as they rise and fade There's a cherry full of night Marigold and mandarin With a burstin sunset slips between all my busted dreams of sky linen And I won't fear For every morning I have left For every day that I'll draw breath And while I still have love to give, girl Would you let me be As cold December blows inside of me Well I've been running like a child and all this time I have been careless and fancy free A city boy with senses numb, and now my Christmas comes all at once And this is where I'll start... Now I know I love my heart A Whitechapel it marks the day as sure as my pen marks the page And I won't fear For every morning I have left For every day that I'll draw breath And while I still have love to give, girl Would you let me be As cold December blows inside of me Cause all this time I've been And all this time I've been a cold December blows inside of me Cause all this time I've been And all this time I've been a cold December blows inside of me For every morning I have left For every day that I'll draw breath And while I still have love to give, girl Would you let me be As cold December blows inside of me
