Standing on the porch of your fortress at the door is not me, you see
Coming over now
Can I know you now?
It's all going up

You said it all before but you're trying to mean it more on a cold night
See the night and the window now
It's December now
Feeling better now

And the devils been stacking his cards high
Feels like he's holding all aces at times
Now that bird can sing again
November morning, one rose
Both throw it in

Now let's go down and check it out
And see what love can burst and break out
And be a light in the cold ground
Those little flowers me and my father we put down

The queen was feeling old rain
So she stood up and pulled her coat tie
And stepped out in to that blue night
She's heading down to the lakeside
And the king was in his room, red
And he looked down and saw his golden bride
And that man was a boy again
Feeling love for the girl again

And he walked on down to the lake, right
Silhouetted by the moonlight
And they danced to the red light
On a cold night but it felt right

Oh, oh, oh
Feels like he's holding all aces at times
Oh, oh, oh
He looked out and saw his golden bride
Oh, oh, oh
Man was a boy again
Feels like he's holding all aces at times
