November Was White December Was Grey
Say Hi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the flakes snow on
November was white
and December was grey
Well, someday soon
When the spring brings the sun
I'll finally sleep, I'll finally
I'll feel better when the winter's gone
I'll feel better when the winter's gone
For these three months
I've been inside the house
My pacing has worn
All of the carpet out
Just give me a breeze
The rebirth of the life
I'll finally pine, I'll finally
Feel better when the winter's gone
I'll feel better when the winter's gone
I'll feel better when the winter's gone
I'll feel better when the winter's gone
I'll feel better when the winter's gone
