Love
Hidden in my mind
Let it out and shine
I'm calling out your name
And running in the rain
I love to turn you on
The dream is always strong
And love
Floating in the air
And I can see you there
All hope was lost
On a night in December
Only a mad man to blame
So many tears
On that night in December
But on cold foreign fields
There's a flame
So we always remember your name
I haven't read the news
Saddened and confused
And dream
In my life I swear
I saw you standing there
All hope was lost
On a night in December
Only a mad man to blame
So many tears
On that night in December
But on cold foreign fields
There's a flame
So we always remember your name
Hidden in my mind
Let it out and shine
I'm calling out your name
And running in the rain
I love to turn you on
The dream is always strong
And love
Floating in the air
And I can see you there
All hope was lost
On a night in December
Only a mad man to blame
So many tears
On that night in December
But on cold foreign fields
There's a flame
So we always remember your name
I haven't read the news
Saddened and confused
And dream
In my life I swear
I saw you standing there
All hope was lost
On a night in December
Only a mad man to blame
So many tears
On that night in December
But on cold foreign fields
There's a flame
So we always remember your name

While i don't know the true meaning, it seems to me like he is dreaming of her, and when he then wakes up, his mind is somewhere else, thinking about her.
My theory at least.
Furthermore, different sources say, that Lennon was declared dead either 11:07 or 11:15 PM 8th of december, and Lennon was shot dead by a fanatic fan - a mad man.
"All hope was lost
on a night in December
only a mad man to blame"
@Kiyoko: The bit you're refering to does not have to be understood in a sexual manner.. The line "Love to turn you on" has been used before by the Beatles (Reported be slang for drug abuse) in the song A day in the life.. It can for example be understood as I love to turn on your music..
The love floating in the air, should more be understood as, that Tim is a huge Lennon fan, and hence he "loves" him and his work..
Furthermore, the lyrics printed here are not entirely correct.. In the very last chorus, Tim actually sings "But on Strawberry Fields there's a flame", which of course also is a Beatles reference..
