That's how it hit her tonight
She's never seen him looking
Straight at anybody
Never heard him clear his voice
To say: Hey, hey I'm sorry

Never known anyone who'd leave so fast
Never seen anyone who'd stay away so long
Never known anyone who'd leave
For no reason
Never met anyone else
Who thinks he can...

December will be here, soon
Soon it will be here
December will be here, soon
You know it'll be here...

And that's why it hit her tonight
She's never really raised her eyes at anybody
Never even cleared her voice
To say: Hey, hey I'm sorry...

Never seen why she always
Has to turn defensive
Never known why she's bound
To take the hardest way
Never seen why she always
Has to get the last word
Now she knows who
Makes her think she has to...
You know he will be home, soon
You know he will be here
Mama, he'll be home, soon
Tell me he'll be here...

Tell me he'll be here...
