December
4’22” / Words & Music by Tal Zana
Arrangements & Vocals by Jeanne Gignoux
Written and recorded over a period of several weeks in the winter of 2003. This is the only recording where I used a Shure TLM-103 microphone, which worked nicely with Jeanne’s crystal-clear vocals.

Winter chills your skin
Let me breathe through December with you
The snow on your pretty face
is like tears in a frozen embrace
All the birds have flown out of town
and the rain is so blue
Your hands are cold
and tomorrow in your eyes
I will see that September is gone
A frosty night with you
makes me wish May will never come
Just cry, don’t you say a word,
shiver slowly
like when I first saw you
In your old red shirt
You said my new skirt
made you dream of cherry
You gazed at the sun
Spring had just begun
Breathing you was sweeping me off my feet
And then we’ll go
We’ll go someplace red,
like Berlin
You know that’s what we should do
Winter chills your skin
Let me breathe through December with you
