Devil's December

My days were getting cold; my soul was bought and sold

To that devil in red, oh he climbed into my bed

Said darling I’ll protect your bones, as if they were my own

Your days were getting dark, so you threw away your heart

To that devil in red, oh he climbed into your bed

Said darling I’ll protect your lungs, as if they were my only ones

Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep, and hold my heart, let that devil weep

They say that fire is his only friend; oh you like to play pretend

My dear

Ooh ooh ooh

Lay me down, lay me down, and close my eyes, pull away my frown

Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend

My dear

Ooh ooh ooh

You’re sitting in his car, the radio is playing and you feel so far

Away from the rest of your tired day

He it makes you feel alive, you lick your lips say darling drive

I’m sitting in a park; it’s four o’clock but its getting dark

Just another winter day, you wrote me a letter to say

You apologize, for all your little lies

Sing me to sleep, sing me to sleep, and hold my heart, let that devil weep

They say that fire is his only friend; oh you like to play pretend

My dear

Ooh ooh ooh

Lay me down, lay me down, and close my eyes, pull away my frown

Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend

Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend

Oh you were my only friend, Guess you like to play pretend

My dear
