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
