Close your eyes and
Start the big sleep
It’s not goodbye
Just counting sheep
Rejected since birth
Doors slammed in your face
Oh, January
It brings you back to earth
And puts me in my place
Oh, January
Bit by bit your
Body shut down
Cage for your soul
Locked to the ground
Rejected since birth
Doors slammed in your face
Oh, January
It brings you back to earth
And puts me in my place
Oh, January
Dresser full of pills
Chemical release
Oh, January
Hospital bills
Till you were at peace
Oh, January
I dream of our
Daughters dancing
No fear of sickness advancing
Rejected since birth
Doors slammed in your face
Oh, January
It brings you back to earth
And puts me in my place
Oh, January
All my tears are dry
Your time with me was brief
Oh, January
Too young to die
Is a false belief
Oh, January
