January Man Lyrics

Roy Harper 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 emotions in the notion of your grace
I lost control of my emotions 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 straight 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 too
But, of course, I did (say)

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

Time fell away, licking my wounds

A lifetime astray
A January man must do what he can
Keeping winter at bay
Stoking the dream, he still has

Summer days in the haze, let it last more, let it last more
Into the longest grass
Into the longest
Let it last
