December
Where were you when all this came about
Where were you when they began to shout
I could be wrong; was it a whisper
That started all this, where were you my sister?
Did you love when you thought to leave
Did you think that I could still breathe
Did you cry, did you shudder
Did you care about our mother?
I heard a laugh ring through this night
I heard a cry, I heard a fight
And did I hear you hurt each other
Did you weep and miss your lover?
Are you surprised I can't be near you
Do you think that I don't HEAR you?
Am I alone when I remember;
Do I alone dread next December?
When YOU came home I felt alone
When YOU said hi it meant goodbye
When YOU said yes you really said never
And now I cry and YOU
Wonder why?
