The Decemberists - January HymnLyrics

On a winter's Sunday I go To clear away the snow And green the ground below April all an ocean away Is this a better way to spend the day? Keeping the winter at bay What were the words I meant to say Before you left When I could see your breath lead Where you were going to Maybe I should just let it be And maybe it will all come back to me Seeing, oh, January, oh How I lived a childhood in the snow And all my teens in tow Stuffed in strata of clothes Hail the winter days after dark Wandering the gray memorial park A fleeting beating of hearts What were the words I meant to say Before she left When I could see her breath lead Where she was going to Maybe I should just let it be And maybe it will all come back to me Seeing, oh, Janu... Oh, January, oh
