Staying warm to survive the winter nights Looking out for neighbours as they fought away the ice We left the shortest day behind Took a whisky for the sake of Auld Lang Syne

A line of torches parading down the hill Singing in the streets as we forgot the winter chill Fireworks explode against the stars Passing time will heal our many scars

We were making resolutions as the calendar turned Preparing for the better days to come But January's over and it keeps on raining And I wonder when we'll ever see the sun?

Splashes from the puddles as the cars are rushing by Looking for a hint of blue to decorate the sky A lake where we once had a village green Broken branches racing down the stream

We were making resolutions as the calendar turned Preparing for the better days to come But January's over and it keeps on raining And I wonder when we'll ever see the sun?

So I'm looking for a reason not to stay in bed Surely by now there's no more water overhead Save us from this neverending storm Rainbows when we step out of the door

We were making resolutions as the calendar turned Preparing for the better days to come But January's over and it keeps on raining And I wonder when we'll ever see the sun?

January's over and it keeps on raining...
