Counting Crows – A Long December Lyrics
[Verse 1: Counting Crows]
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast
[Hook 1: Counting Crows]
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would
[Verse 2: Counting Crows]
The smell of hospitals in Winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
[Hook 2: Counting Crows]
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California
I think you should
[Verse 3: Counting Crows]
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2 A.M
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the Winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower
About the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
[Hook 3: Counting Crows]
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast
[Hook 1: Counting Crows]
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would
[Verse 2: Counting Crows]
The smell of hospitals in Winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl
[Hook 2: Counting Crows]
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California
I think you should
[Verse 3: Counting Crows]
Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2 A.M
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the Winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower
About the things you could not show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
[Hook 3: Counting Crows]
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
