January Man

Rings on the water, blood from the womb Blues on the moon Light through the fingers one January day Light on the name you chose to keep And on the name that you gave Now I'm the one who had to stay home Watching you go Fate in the coarse hands of human resources Your January man Turns out the Matrix can paint a Monet Zeroes and ones resolve in your face Around your vows and the crown in your mouth Memory plays, making me doubt Making me over and out Now you're the one who just had to go Destiny's own Facing the strange with a rose in your teeth And a ring on your phone, I am eight hours ago Much as I try, I'm a whole day behind And you're moving through time I'll stay where I am January man January man
