song lyrics

"January Comes Down Hard"

You know the future
Comes too fast
When you're looking
At the past

And January
Comes down hard
When December
Drops your guard

Temptation stories line the walls of every past
Disappointed hearts are scattered like broken glass

You know the night babe
Is too long
When somebody's
Doing you wrong

And the days seem
All a blur
When you're thinking
'bout where you were

And the mothers cry in the east while the trumpets blast
Disappointed hearts are scattered like broken glass

Before our bodies
Turn to dust
Let's do some damage
Before we rust

I'll be your knight babe
For a day
We'll leave the kingdom
In disarray

Temptation stories line the walls of every past
Disappointed hearts are scattered like broken glass

You know the future
Comes too fast
When you're looking
At the past

And January
Comes down hard
When December
Drops your guard
