Rob Jones & The Restless Dream - January Man

Well I got tired of waiting out the winter
I thought I'd see what next year has to say
I'm determined that tomorrow will be better
Than today
I took that midnight plane to Copenhagen
I thought I'd set my four sheets to the wind
I'm no stranger to a strange old situation
Or more trouble than the trouble that I'm in
I heard the mermaid singing
But no-one else was there to see
So I asked the Western Wind
But just told me to get lost
She said she can't afford the cost
Of another losing bet on me
And I guess I should have known
Things don't always go to plan
I'm a thousand miles from home
Still your January man
Your January man
We were sitting at a cafe in Vienna
We were swollen up with love like two balloons
I never said that I could promise to forget her
Any time soon
Now here I am, looking for the language that I need
To try to climb Rapunzel by her hair
There's little more to life right now than make believe
And you can get that at the right price anywhere
The Ice Queen's coming in
She's tired of all the talk outside
The old year's bound to end
But a new one's on its way
I guess I'd better stay
While I've got nowhere else to hide
And I guess I should have known
Life gets hard to understand
I'm out here sinking like a stone
Still your January man
Your January man
Your January man
Your January man
A stranger in the snow
With a tremble in my hand
Better times might come and go
But I'm still your January man
And if I wanted to let you go
They oughta shoot me where I stand
Whichever way the wind might blow
I'm still your January man
Your January man
Your January man
