Nice video and song from this American singer-songwriter.
Cold weather is all I want...

Lyrics
.
I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear
I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
.
All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say
I've got jackets blankets and sheets, it's going to be a cold December
.
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
I couldn't see
.
If only time could slow down, maybe I could come up
It's such a cold December
It's such a cold December
It's so cold
.
I cant fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore
I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me
Swallowing glass just to stay pure
.
Summers come and summer has gone
Your Christmas cards can't comfort me
You've found new friends and tied all the ends
It's freezing in the loneliest winter
.
It could be warm you see, a statue next to me
Swimming away from the ice and snow
Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me
Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see
I couldn't see
.
If only time could slow down, then maybe I could come up
It's such a cold December
It's such a cold December
It's so cold
.
