Counting Crows – A Long December lyrics
A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving
Oh the days go by so fast

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven
I wish you would
(Na na na, etc. yeah)

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California
I think you should
(Na na na, etc. yeah)

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after 2 a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
(Na na na, etc. yeah)

    I believe it's about a girl leaving a guy. It's a sad song to me becuz december is a really long month for me. The third verse kicks me in the balls since my sister spent her final days in the hospital before she passed. I joke around and say she ran out on us. California is beautiful as heaven (in places) so yeah, a long december is in my mind forever. Rock on cynthia cheree winters! 31 years or your crazyness was not enough.

    To me this songs about regrets, mainly about the one that got away, the one you wonder how your life would be had you not screwed up the relationship. Not been so young and dumb to see that you had the real thing and let it slip away. To me, a long December means a lifetime not a month. Go ahead, give her a call !
