old home demo sketch of a man I once knew who was as proud of his mixed-up heritage as I am of mine. He called himself a didicoi and I've always liked the sound of the word in spite of it sometimes being used as a derogatory term by others.

ONE DECEMBER NIGHT

one december night
if i remember right
it's all so long ago
there were christmas smells
and cathedral bells
and warmth to make you glow
there were angel chimes
there were pantomimes
and chocolates galore
presents round the tree
pleasant fantasies
i always wanted more

one more dance around the year now
one more chance to put it right
one more fanciful idea
that we could learn to love tonight
we could learn to love tonight

in the crowded bar
where the rowdies are
we drink away the cold
drink away the past
try to make it last
i must be getting old
and the music plays
songs of yesterday
they always make me cry
all that glitters is
only bitterness
without a reason why

across the park a light is burning
in the window of a home
and in the dark i fight the yearning
for the things i'll never own

one more dance around the year now
one more chance to put it right
one more fanciful idea
that we could learn to love tonight
we could learn to love tonight

once upon a time
in a nursery rhyme
we sang goodwill to men
embers in the grate
was it worth the wait
cause here we go again
give to charity
fight disparity
the caring time is here
the expense of it
the suspense of it
will santa come this year

one more dance around the year now
one more chance to put it right
one more fanciful idea
that we could learn to love tonight
we could learn to love tonight
