December

You took the wind, you took the sails

You took the months between December and May

And when the van went to the wreckers

And we lost the flat with views of the bay

I was only counting we were mounting our best counter attack

And when we lay there in the shadow of the moment

And the silence was all that we had

We were happiest

With nothing left

We were happiest

With nothing left, left

Stars, if I could be

Where you are, watching me

Stars, if I could be

Where you are, watching me

There was music in the moment

Then that came from having nothing to lose

And when things were going better well

I always saw much less of you

When the house was full of letters

And our lives became a dance again

I always thought back to the era

When the weekends went forever

It was all in our head

We were happiest

With nothing left

We were happiest

With nothing left, left

If we were brave

If we were right

We could get out of here

We took the wind, we took the sails

We took the months between December and May

And when the van went to the wreckers

And we lost the flat with views of the bay

We were happiest

With nothing left

We were happiest

With nothing left, left

Stars, if I could be

Where you are, watching me

Stars, if I could be

Where you are, watching me
