Was a long and dark December
from the roof-tops I remember
There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future’s architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You’d better lie low

If you love me, won’t you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
and the frost became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
are rolled out to fit their rifles
and the cross was held aloft

Bury me in honour
When I’m dead and hit the ground
Well, Loves opposed will unfold

If you love me, won’t you let me know?

[Instrumental]

I wanna be as counter
Or the captain of some stinkin’ ship
With stone, far below

If you love me, why’d you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me, won’t you let me know
If you love me, won’t you let me know
