January Morning lyrics

Night clouds race the rolling moon

All across and down the winter sky,

Leave the wake of distant star

Cold, shining down on you and I

But the fire kept it's glowing

And it warmed the shadows on the wall--

January morning

Candles danced and trembled

As the music swirled them to and fro

We dreamed of times forgotten

Old songs and stories that we know.

Home from all our weary traveling

Leaving sorrows on the road behind--

January morning

Chorus:

These are moments apart, my friend,

Known only to you and I.

For old friends and lovers

Have no need to talk

Of the now and the where and the why

Skys streak to yellow

The stars and firelight slowly die.

Weariness from laughter

The music's flashing, soaring ride

That swept us to a wonderous world

And it left us gazing at a new--

January morning

Chorus

Skys streak to yellow

The stars and firelight slowly die.

Weariness from laughter

The music's flashing, soaring ride

That swept us to a wonderous world

And it left us gazing at a new--

January morning
