Lyrics:

December is the cruelest month but this time for once my cheeks are warmAfter long years in the monkey-house I am ready for the stormLet them throw all their cannonballs let all their strongmen comeI'm ready to go anywhere through venom, sick and scum!December isn't always cold but this year she's mine and I know whySomewhere a flower has to grow for every flower that diesI'm stricken with fever but my heart is strong as steelI'm ready to go anywhere! I can believe, I can feel!December is a trusted friend I always recognise her faceIt's a plague of fool blown aside forever by her soft and silent graceShe is reckless as a Mayday gentle as a stoneAnd ready to go anywhere to carry me back home!December fell deep in the bleak mid-winter time when Jesus ChristHowled a baby saviour's howl a primal truth as pure as iceAnd though we crucified him on a cross and dragged his name from payer to curseHe was able to go anywhere he was almost one of us!
