January Man

Time fell away
As I stepped
Out my door
Into bright summer day
With you on my mind
Your words in rewind
On eternal replay
Without a grey hair
On my head
Weaving you into every last thread
Of the dream I had

I lost control
Of my emotion
In the notion
Of your grace
I lost control
Of my emotion
A tear ran down my face

Time fell away
And by chance
There I was
Back in the day
As time fell away
And suddenly
There you were
In your doorway
Without a stray thought
In your head
Hanging on every last breath
Of the things we said

I lost control
Of my emotions
In the oceans
Of your eyes
I lost control
Of my emotions
Oh I do apologise

Saying things
I didn't mean to
But of course
I did

Falling in-between
The cracks of truth
And somewhere else
Somewhere else
I should have run and hid

Time fell away
Licking my wounds
A lifetime astray
January man
Must do what he can
Keeping winter at bay
Stoking the dream
He still has
Of long summer days
In the haze
Lad and Lass
Lad and Lass
Into the longest grass

Into the long grass
Lad and lass
Lad and lass
