Trevor Stott - January Cold Lyrics

Well you left your pages open
On the table by the bed
And your toothbrush on the counter
And your song still in my head
And your perfume on the pillow
And a pain deep in my soul
As I wonder where I've sent you
In the January cold

Well you left that sentence hanging
In the dark above the bed
Darling won't you please be patient
Don't you leave me here for dead
Well I left the window open
While you smoked your cigarettes
Those cold trails leaving omens
In empty rings inside my head

Would you have me out there with you
In the January cold
To spill out to the darkness
All the warmth left in my soul
And carry you for miles
To your home

Well we left those words unspoken
As you parted to the bright
Morning silence broken
By the echoes from the night
In my quiet hours and minutes
In my days that live and die
You left your image fading
Bittersweetly from my mind

And I know that you'll remember
As our lives go gently by
Like the world still holds the winter
Before it melts into the sky
And I know you'll forget me
In time
In time

And I'll carry you here with me
Through the January cold
Keep a candle for the lover
Who could see inside my soul
And carry you for miles
To my home
And carry you for miles
