[Intro - Gentle acoustic fingerpicking and soft, weeping cello] (Vocals - Warm, intimate, close-mic delivery) Frost upon the window pane... Whispering a quiet name. [Verse 1 - Brushed percussion enters softly] Shortest days and longest nights, Distant towns with twinkling lights. Breathing mist into the chill, Walking down the silent hill. [Chorus - Warm piano chords and acoustic rhythm opening up] Oh, December’s calling low, Footsteps fading in the snow. A simple tune from years gone by, Underneath a winter sky. [Verse 2 - Cello weaving a gentle counter-melody] Coffee warming up my hands, Far away from summer lands. Every shadow cast in grey, Waiting for the light of day. [Chorus - Full intimate acoustic arrangement] Oh, December’s calling low, Footsteps fading in the snow. A simple tune from years gone by, Underneath a winter sky. [Outro - Instruments slowing down to a single acoustic chord] (Breathy, gentle whisper) Just a December voice... Fading in the cold. (Acoustic guitar chord rings out into silence)
