December air blows sweet tonight
Through barren road and land
This old story's lost its sense
Did you have to tell it
Right before I go?
What a predicament we've found, my friend
And never mind what's spoken,
Never mind what's done
We couldn't give it all,
But we gave it some
Old mountain-front, sing me a rhyme
Of love in black and white
I'm afraid we don't have long
Did you know I wrote you?
Did you know I tried?
Ten thousand words and hundreds of lines
But never mind what's spoken,
Never mind what's done
We couldn't give it all,
But we gave it some
We couldn't give it all,
So we gave it some
Never mind what's spoken,
Never mind what's done
We are only portions of this greater sum,
And there is no deceit here,
This is only right
For too long the cutups in the dark of night
And never mind what's spoken,
Never mind, what's done is done.
We couldn't give it all,
But we gave it some
I couldn't give it all,
But my love, I gave it some
Through barren road and land
This old story's lost its sense
Did you have to tell it
Right before I go?
What a predicament we've found, my friend
Never mind what's done
We couldn't give it all,
But we gave it some
Of love in black and white
I'm afraid we don't have long
Did you know I tried?
Ten thousand words and hundreds of lines
But never mind what's spoken,
Never mind what's done
We couldn't give it all,
But we gave it some
We couldn't give it all,
So we gave it some
Never mind what's done
We are only portions of this greater sum,
And there is no deceit here,
This is only right
For too long the cutups in the dark of night
Never mind, what's done is done.
We couldn't give it all,
But we gave it some
I couldn't give it all,
But my love, I gave it some
