Jesu, Sun Kil Moon - A Dream of Winter lyrics

Just back from South Dakota and my
Skin is covered in bed bug
But it was nice playin'
Christmas songs out there
Then flying back home to my love
And it's nice not having to go
To airports anymore this December
I'm now living my summer long
Dream this dream of winter
Wintertime is melancholic and sometimes
Gets me over thinking
Especially this one as I'm a
Month away from being 50
And oh how the time has flown
And oh how the trees have grown
And how nice it is to be back home

I hope these days pass slowly
Oh how this new bedding you
Got me feels so cozy
Oh how the cold makes your cheeks so rosy
Oh how my belly's gotten doughy
I got nothing on my schedule so far next year
And that's a first in a long time
As far as i can remember
Just looked out the window and in the
Yard is a big old deer
Ain't nothing like the scenery and the
Smell of the nature out here
And the chimney's pumpin' smoke up
Into the chilly sky
And the downtown Christmas decorations make
Me want to cry
When you're young it takes forever
For Christmas to come around
And when you're older it comes around
The corner faster than a greyhound

I hope December passes slowly
In this moment I feel so lucky
To be with you putting lights
On the Christmas tree
And the old hardwood floors
They shine like honey
And Segovia playing Bach is magic
In the living room
And my dad is 83 years old
And I'm gonna see him soon
In this moment I feel so lucky
To have a girl in my life who is
So nice to me and so pretty
If I die tomorrow upon me take no pity
I got a beautiful house in the country
And a nice apartment in the city
I've been everywhere from China to Iowa City
Oh in this moment I couldn't
Feel more at ease

And your cat she's so snuggly and fluffy
But when you went to work this morning her
And i slept in until 3: 30
And she woke me up when she jumped out
Of bed and her feet hit the floor
I'm more grateful for this Christmas that's
Approaching than any Christmas ever before
