January Hymn Lyrics - The King Is Dead - Decemberists

On a winter's Sunday I go 

To clear away the snow and green the ground below 

April, all an ocean away, is this the better way to spend the day? 

Keeping the winter at bay 

What were the words I meant to say before you left? 

When I could see your breath lead where you were going to 

Maybe I should just let it be and maybe it will all come back to me 

Sing, oh, January, oh 

How I lived a childhood in snow 

And all my teens in tow, stuffed in strata of clothes 

Pale the winter days after dark 

Wandering the gray memorial park, a fleeting beating of hearts
