Every December Sky

Every December sky must lose its faith in leaves And dream of the spring inside the trees How heavy the empty heart How light the heart that's full Sometimes, I have to trust what I can't know Sometimes, I have to trust what I can't know We walk into paradise The angels lend us shoes 'Cause all that we own We'll come to lose And heaven is not so far Outside this womb of words With every rose that blooms My soul is assured It's just like a song I've known Yet still unheard And every leaf of fire lets go Melting in the arms of earth and snow And if I could hold you now You'd enter like a sigh You'd be the wind that blows The answer to 'Why?' You'd be the spring-filled trees Of every December sky
