December

You took the wind, you took the sails
 You took the months between December and May
 And when the van went to the wreckers
 And we lost the flat with views of the bay
 I was only counting we were mounting our best counter attack
 And when we lay there in the shadow of the moment
 And the silence was all that we had
 We were happiest
 With nothing left
 We were happiest
 With nothing left, left
 Stars, if I could be
 Where you are, watching me
 Stars, if I could be
 Where you are, watching me
 There was music in the moment
 Then that came from having nothing to lose
 And when things were going better well
 I always saw much less of you
 When the house was full of letters
 And our lives became a dance again
 I always thought back to the era
 When the weekends went forever
 It was all in our head
 We were happiest
 With nothing left
 We were happiest
 With nothing left, left
 If we were brave
 If we were right
 We could get out of here
 We took the wind, we took the sails
 We took the months between December and May
 And when the van went to the wreckers
 And we lost the flat with views of the bay
 We were happiest
 With nothing left
 We were happiest
 With nothing left, left
 Stars, if I could be
 Where you are, watching me
 Stars, if I could be
 Where you are, watching me
