On a winter Sunday I go
|
To clear away the snow
|
And green the ground below
|
|
April all an ocean away
|
Is this the better way to spend the day?
|
Keeping the winter at bay
|
|
What were the words I meant to say before you left?
|
When I could see your breath lead where you were going to
|
|
Maybe I should just a¢æ©«let it bea¢æ?
|
and maybe it will all come back to me
|
Sing oh January oh!
|
|
How I lived a childhood in snow
|
And all my teens in tow
|
Stuffed in strata of glow
|
|
Hail the winter days after dark
|
Wandering the gray memorial park
|
A fleeting beating of hearts
|
|
What were the words I meant to say before she left?
|
When I could see her breath lead where she was going to
|
|
Maybe I should just a¢æ©«let it bea¢æ?
|
And maybe it will all come back to me
|
Sing oh Janu...
|
Oh January oh
|
