Twelfth Knight (King Of December) - Bonus Track

from Death Of The Album by The Long Lost Band

/

lyrics

The Knight of all seasons stares across

At June & July, with August's loss

Ambitions, flowered through March, April and May

As they shortened the night, and lengthened the day

Chorus 1

The holly and the evergreen, weave through Winters's crown

The Knight stands heavily draped in Scorpio's gown

Then he smiles in the fires glow, for this is Christmas,

Call the North Wind and let the snow blow

Verse 2
An icy stare strikes August's eye

Disharmony falls at the fault of July

September, is seven, and October is eight

December is ten by name and by place

Chorus 1


The holly and the evergreen, weave through Winters's crown

The Knight stands heavily draped in Scorpio's gown

Then he smiles,in the fires glow, for this is Christmas,

Sing and let the wine flow....


Mid 8

March had no wind, April no showers,

A good Summer in England, Lost count of the hours

From work to fruition, in deep harvest gold

Now we are twelve when once we were ten in our days of old.

Chorus 1

The holly and the evergreen, weaves through Winters's crown

The Knight stands heavily draped in Scorpio's gown

Then he smiles in the fires glow, so this is Christmas

Sing and let the wine flow...

So here's to the new year and and all unknown friends

To harmony in nature, may it never end.

So celebrate and always remember

The Twelfth Knight at your table the king of December

The King Of December

The King Of December

The King Of December

The King Of December

Lyrics by Peter Antony
