[Verse 1]
Night clouds race the rowin' moon
All across and down the winter sky
Leave the wake a distant star
Cold, shinin’ down on you and I
But the fire kept it's glowin'
And it warmed the shadows on the wall
January mornin’
[Verse 2]
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 travelin'
Leavin' sorrows on the road behind
January mornin'
[Chorus]
These are moments apart, my friend
Known only to you, you and I
For old friends and lovers
Have no need to talk
Of thе how and the where and thе why
[Verse 3]
Skies streak to yellow
The stars and firelight slowly die
Weariness from laughter
The music's flashin', soarin' ride
That swept us to a wonderous world
And it left us gazin' anew
January mornin’
[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 how and the where and the why
[Verse 4]
The skies streak to yellow
The stars and firelight slowly die
Weariness from laughter
The music’s flashin', soarin’ ride
That swept us to a wonderous world
And left us gazin' anew
January mornin'
