Through December - Laura Veirs

Birds were falling from the sky

All leaves had turned to brown

The heartless cold froze everything

And took my poor Red down

Poor old Red she’s dead and gone

Her eyes I do remember

At least I have this old guitar

To get me through December, through December

Through December

Her eyes were dark as winter’s night

Both somehow young and old

I loved her most the day she died

Her hair was colored gold

Old man winter at my door

The sky heavy with snow

All’s cold but my heart poor Red

It’s hard to let you go
