January Lyrics

January brings more shadows than promise

And more lights from the void

A close December brought me nothing but ashes

And evening calls

And I heard Jerry's working down on the radiator

With some miracles attached

Busted and bruised, I must've drove 40 miles to get to you

Why you gotta, why you gotta leave so soon?

Why you gotta, why you gotta leave so soon?

So soon?

I split my nucleus on the countertop

'Cause I was looking for a fight

I cleaned my blood off the parking lot

I should've come here with a plan

For many years our mother was mourning

I can't forget

We only had us a couple drinks coming

Now I'm so perplexed

Why you gotta, why you gotta leave so soon?

Why you gotta, why you gotta leave so soon?

So soon?

'Cause diamonds are falling down now by the thousands

And scattered in swarms by easterly winds

You carved me out, not a second too soon

So maybe I'll see you coming around these parts

When that trestle bridge is active

And maybe these four walls will learn to breathe again

So maybe I'll see you coming around these parts

When that trestle bridge is active

And maybe these four walls will learn to breathe again
