December

from Believing In Iron by David R. Elliott

subscriber exclusive

about

This song is about December, I might have stolen some Ezra Pound for it or something I don't remember. Very low-key, sparse.

lyrics

calloused hands, languid
lazy tongue, cautious
december, december
december

shallow sea, sun-shot
bewildered spring, rise over us
low flooded land, and the deep sky
december, december

she says she wants me home
she says she wants me home

im not waitin for that,
im waiting for spring

december, december
you tore me up
you broke me down
you build me up
you fuck around
snow falls
like ashes
december, december

she says she wants me home
im not waiting for that

im sendin you home
ill send you the money
but you gotta let me in

it's not even december
