Decembers Past Lyrics

I was always gonna love you

It was sculpted in the moon before we were born

And passers-by and Christmas lights

Couldn't stop it if they tried

So you and I took all the time that we could

Maybe if you weren't so matter of fact

We could've scattered the facts

Until we wasted time

Looking for clues

And years would pass and I'd look up

To find I had spent them with you

No empty chairs around the table

That fill more space than the crowded room

No missing call on Christmas morning

The loneliest joy and the happiest gloom

So I light a candle for every time you cross my mind

And it lights up the room

They ask when I am going home

It's that time of year

The question is on all their minds

They seek the kind of warmth and safety

That they know we'll never get back

Say that we long for December

But we long for Decembers past

Maybe if you weren't so matter of fact

We could've scattered the facts

Until we wasted time

Looking for clues

And years would pass and I'd look up

To find I had spent them with you

No empty chairs around the table

That fill more space than the crowded room

No missing call on Christmas morning

The loneliest joy and the happiest gloom

So I light a candle for every time you cross my mind

And it lights up the room

I'm the loneliest ghost

I've been dreaming of you

Showing up at my door

But you're not the type for midnight calls

Well wherever you are

Whoever you got to be

Hope as the snow falls

You spare a prayer for me

And whatever this is

Whatever I tried to say

I hope it works out for you and your dreams someday

While you're travelling home

I hope all the lights turn to green

And I hope that home is all it's supposed to be

Merry Christmas from past me

The empty chairs around the table

That fill more space than the crowded room

The missing call on Christmas morning

Loneliest joy and the happiest gloom

But I light a candle for every time you cross my mind

And it lights up the room
