[Verse 1]

Burn up with t

he water

The floods are

 on the plains

The planets in

 a rose

Who knows what

 they contain?

And my brain i

s like an orch

estra

Playing on, in

sane

Will you love 

me like you lo

ved me in the 

January rain?

Somber country

The needle stopped the kicking
     
The clothes pi

And my heart i

 and seek
            
Wait and count

Will you love

[Verse 3]

We overcome th

e sirens
            
We look both l

          
eft and right
              
And I can feel

              
 the numbness 


accompany my p

light
    
And I know tha

t someday soon

 I'll see you
            
But now you're

          
 out of sight
             
And you'll kis

 January night
