January Rain Lyrics

I left my good sense

In a January rain

Felt it wash away

Like I'd never need sunshine

Again

I left my good sense

In a January rain

To a crooked trade

Gave my salvation

For beans

And old curved bones

She said were magic

Ain't it tragic

I believed

In a January rain

In a January Rain

Don't close your heart, they say

Stay the course

Don't let the jilted and the jaded

Steal your joy away

But when your heart breaks

In a January rain

Their tune changes

They wave goodbye

Safe and dry, 'n you're

Washed away

In a January rain

In a January rain

I fell for magic

In a January rain

She held me in place

An incantation

Enchanted chains

I fell for magic

In a January rain

Before my eyes she raised

My reflection

Resurrecting

My lost self

She cast her spell

And I fell

And I'm still fallin'

For a January rain

For a January rain

Don't close your mind, they say

Stay wide-eyed

Don't let the wicked and the wanton steal

Your wonder away

But when the spell breaks

In a January rain

The mirror changes

You're disappeared

And disillusioned

Again

In a January rain

In a January rain

Oh I've learned my lesson

Loud and clear

Don't count those blessings

'Til you're sure

They're really here

Oh I've learned the long way

Through the pain

Don't you fall for

The false shore of

A January rain

It's too late now

I'm in too deep

Let your rains come down over me

Let your rains come down over me

I'll wash away

I'll wash away

In a January rain

In a January rain

I left my good sense

In a January rain

Felt it wash away

I may never see sunshine

Again
