It sure is cold this morning They're hangin' lights in the trees downtown The Indian summer is over The fall fell away and blew out with the cold northern wind He swore forever Couldn't measure his love But she's all alone under Gray skies above Like a bird in December Who didn't fly south Time just ran out She's a bird in December Hearts that love blind Sometimes get left behind Her feathers are too bright for this dull town Her colors are all wasted here She followed him here for the summer But like seasons all disappear, suddenly he was gone It's all so much clearer Watching from the outside We all saw it coming She didn't get out in time She's a bird in December Who didn't fly south Time just ran out She's a bird in December Hearts that love blind Sometimes get left behind Oh, the winter won't last, the sun will come out Well, I know she'll find love again but right now She's a bird in December Like a bird in December Who didn't fly south Time just ran out She's a bird in December Hearts that love blind Sometimes get left behind The storm, it won't last December will pass
