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
