Because the fog was low
   and the streets were meeting arms
   i've been beaten
   now i'm not leaving home
  
   and in the second was rain
   she is walking but i'm no-one
   i feel january's here and with me again
  
   'cause i'm a waste of arms
   and you were wasting time
   in my head you were better
   i was wrong to scurry behind
  
   so bring her safely home
   there may be muscles now swallowing with her
   'cause i'll be waking up waking up cold
   'cause i've been waking up waking up cold and alone
  
   put on a locket and say
   put on a locket and bring this wine
   all of this evening it seemed like a waste of time
  
   and in the second you came
   bored and believing he seized your name
   i feel january's here and talking again
  
   'cause there was something more
   and you were talking blind
   'cause this water was red
   i was blacked out and needed a shine
  
   so bring her name to your door
   throw the flowers well over the threshhold
   'cause i'll be walking out, walking out now
   'cause i'll be walking out, walking out now
   for sure
  
   so bring her safely home
   there may be muscles now swallowing with her
   'cause i'll be waking up waking up cold
   'cause i've been waking up waking up cold and alone
