Wayward Daughter - My Dear Beloved

I've been sleeping far to long
My bodies waking with a song
It's late October and the leaves blanket the ground
And I see people hurry past
They chase the sun that's fading fast
It's late November and the cold is rolling round

My dear beloved
When December comes I'll know just what to do
My dear beloved
When December comes I know all I'll need is you

I've no regrets I have no fear
In the knowledge the you're always near
My darling we could while away the hours
With stories of our future plans
Of cottages down by the sand
Of children and a home that we've made ours

My dear beloved
When December comes I'll know just what to do
My dear beloved
When December comes I know all I'll need is you

My dear beloved etc

When winter winds are blowing fast
You'll give me your coat in exchange for my heart
A heart that's stayed hidden away for years
We'll warm up by the fire side
The place where first I called you mine
And you promised there'd be no more need for tears

My dear beloved
When December comes I'll know just what to do
My dear beloved
When December comes I know all I'll need is you
