Hey January,
       Em   B
Mister January,
Hey there --

Em          D
Hey Mister January
C             A
Just passing through from Faerie
C      Em                 A B
Buddy, can you spare the time?
Em           D
Some kind of emissary
C              A
Might look so flash, so very
B  A
Fine.
    Em        A             B       Em
Hey January, where do you draw the line?


Em          D
Hey Mister January
C             A
Don't look confused and wary
C              Em             A B
Let's talk the way we used to do.
Em           D
Sit back and take the weight off
C           A
You had to make the tradeoff;
C      D         A       Em
Nobody puts the blame on you.

That glamour hasn't faded
Look like you really made it
And yeah, I guess I did okay
Life couldn't keep us under
But still I have to wonder
What brought you down my street today?

Rememger Shoney dancing
The Faerie moonlight lancing
Through wings that were and weren't there;
Though you've the wings to wear now
You haven't time to care now -
No, I'm not trying to be unfar.

Those heavy dreams that slow you
They didn't used to know you
And have you figured out their source?
Along the streets that fade back
Into a tune that's laid back
They echo with a dying force.

Where all the bulbs are freezing
And the radiators sneezing
Behind the neon pink and lime
You struggled with the Fates there
Did you know she still waits there
For that February sign?
