Don’t wait Don’t wait for him He won’t come He won’t return Don’t wait Don’t cry He won’t come To solace you
He is now passing through The wintry air of eventide He is now crossing the fields Of eternal sleep Of eternal sleep…
His eyes are covered With a crust of ice But in your memory They will shine forever
Transfixed by grief Yet unbroken With ardent and Restless heart You won’t find peace You won’t find his home Of eternal sleep Of eternal sleep
This December Will never end He won’t set you loose Again and again You don’t surrender You keep the door ajar And every night without him Leaves a scar
