lyrics

The Christmas trees are on the curb beside the week-old snow
It's piled so high you just forget what used to live below
Lights come down and this gray town gets grayer every day
Green goes brown, peace on earth and goodwill fade away

The sun goes down in the afternoon
I think I might sleep till June

It's just January, there's no point in being merry
Get your hat, get your coat, get back home
Got no song to sing, got no gift to bring
No smiling face under the mistletoe
It's just January

I've got a glass of red wine and a lot of spare time
To think on how December finally froze your heart
We used to weather all these bitter winters
I didn't mind, we stayed inside curled up in the dark

I made it through the joy and the cheer
Now baby I wish you were here

It's just January, there's no point in being merry
Get your hat, get your coat, get back home
Got no song to sing, got no gift to bring
No smiling face under the mistletoe
It's just January

That damn north wind will turn you raw
Bear down and pray for the thaw

It's just January, there's no point in being merry
Get your hat, get your coat, get back home
Got no song to sing, got no gift to bring
No smiling face under the mistletoe
It's just January
