December — текст песни (Waterboys, The)

December is the cruelest month
but this time for once my cheeks are warm
After long years in the monkey-house
I am ready for the storm
Let them throw all their cannonballs
let all their strongmen come
I`m ready to go anywhere
through venom, sick and scum!

December isn`t always cold
but this year she`s mine and I know why
Somewhere a flower has to grow
for every flower that dies
I`m stricken with fever
but my heart is strong as steel
I`m ready to go anywhere!
I can believe, I can feel!

December is a trusted friend
I always recognise her face
It`s a plague of fool blown aside
forever by her soft and silent grace
She is reckless as a Mayday
gentle as a stone
And ready to go anywhere
to carry me back home!

December fell deep in the bleak
mid-winter time when Jesus Christ
Howled a baby saviour`s howl
a primal truth as pure as ice
And though we crucified him on a cross
and dragged his name from payer to curse
He was able to go anywhere
he was almost one of us!
