Cold night in December, In a shelter on the Bloor Street line Ice on the windows, ice in his bones, No warmth, no wine Plastic, magic, Wishing wand on the frozen ground See the sparkle catch his eye now, Oh, as he turns it around. .......................................................... Cold night in December, In an earlier time, another place Warmth all around him, A fireplace glows on a young boy's face Nose to the window, Snowflakes dance in the streetlamp's glare See the sparkle catch his eye now, Oh, can you see it in there? .......................................................... Cold night in December, And a young man drifts through falling snow Warmth shines from windows, But it don't shine on him, he's got someplace to go Lights in the bar room, Glitter down on an empty glass See the sparkle catch his eye now, Oh, did it find you at last? .......................................................... Cold night in December, In a shelter on the Bloor Street line Ice on the windows, ice in his bones, No warmth, no wine Snowflakes and rainfall mingle on the icy ground See them sparkle in his blue, blue eyes, Oh, as he turns it around |
