January Song - Lindisfarne

I’m feeling rather sorry

For a man I know

The world he holds in trembling hands

Is asking where to go

And as he stares out at me

From the mirrored wall

I see that he is trying to cry

But the tears they will not fall

His life is passing by behind his tired eyes

Like the colours in the January sky

Useless it is to question

Things concerning the past

Seems so very obvious

That nothing at all can last

And just as sure as tomorrow

Will soon be yesterday

The love you thought to occupy

Will surely drift away

I need you to help me carry on

You need me need you need him need everyone

And love is such a small word

For something that is so vast

But in it lies the future

The present and the past

And speaking now of changes

I sometimes feel the fear

That the reason for the meaning

Will even disappear

I need you to help me carry on

You need me need you need him need everyone…
