about

The first song in the winter set and my first recording as a solo artist. In actuality this song wasn't meant to be included in the album. But I thought that the public should receive it free, as a bonus!

A song dedicated to all the women I have loved and all those I will ever love.

Thank you if you purchased this album, it is honestly greatly appreciated!

lyrics

Together in December now out in the freezing weather I cry. Just like how the rain falls from the sky.
And much like the days that follow, like the bone-white wing of a swallow, you pass us by. Without so much as a nod or a fair goodbye.

'Cause you're the women of the world, the taker of hearts and collector of pearls.
And I might have even found it funny, but it was my heart you broke and now the weather never gets sunny.
But if you could open up your eyes, you'd realize that I'm not a very bad guy.
But you, you could never see, you kept me waiting down by the willow tree.

Typecast ain't what I am. You say I'm half a man upon the stars You'll never make it big in this land of fat cats and cigars.
But I know what I am. I'm part of a much bigger plan. That doesn't, that doesn't involve you.

'Cause you're the women of the world, the taker of hearts and collector of pearls.
And I might have even found it funny, but it was my heart you broke and now the weather never gets sunny.
But if you could open up your eyes, you'd realize that I'm not a very bad guy.
But you, you could never see, you kept me waiting down by the willow tree.
