THE GHOST OF DECEMBER Drenched in nostalgia These powers Are so far beyond What were used to Supposed too feel Ohhh those tender years It's so funny what you remember in the end My friends Running down the back lanes up the Valley to the river to deliver All the love I can Too my friends No more games Or chasing Drugs Like fames fickle quiver All those years ago Do you remember I d always ask you to Tell me if I m gonna be your best friend Forever You d just sigh and roll your eyes Then smile so clever Those were the best years of my life Yeah oh yeah I was such a curious Little one But now again it feels like l ve only just begun To be beginning And the cold air on my lungs Is burning Just like when we used to go down to the deep red river Down down down The deep red river You can see my shivers in the air In front of me Down that cold cold red red river Baby Please just take me home Cause I can t stop my head from spinning I can see our little kitchen warm and so so nice I wanna be there now With you and it's December Everyone's happy to be together once more Drinks and smokes Makes me for once again feel my shivers Even if I can't see em inside in those lost Decembers we d all bundle up and head down to that deep red frozen river We skate and skate till I couldn't feel my fingers anymore so we drank hot chocolate Inside A little shack there Let's get outta here Hey What about the ice slides Come on Sonny Jim maybe next year That's what they say when your too young to understand Life yet But I still can remember All those lost December s No Christmas now For the bad man No one cares to understand the beginning except for the ending though So I m Cold and stoned All alone Just the music of my soul playing on my little radios fire I jump into that cold cold deep deep red red river It all goes away so quick Now at the end I wish I can see red again And fight some more To keep living But it's all black now With a faint white light at the bottom and it's Getting bigger Goodbye to that red red river Goodbye I m gone To my forever my Forever in that deep deep frozen red red river So now I m Just the ghost of December from those tender years In the frozen red river forever again beginning of the ending PS (To the family I was for once known as a member And yes I betrayed em Over and over Now left alone with only the ability to remember)

I'm watching this in the bath, I hope I don't drop the phone!
