Iris DeMent Iris DeMent - January Friend

Reach
For higher ground
About the way you look
The way you scream out loud
Mine
Just like the last time
It's all the same to me
She said

Chorus:

Let's pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats pretend
My January friend
I'm wanting you again
I wanna touch ya
Every single heart that beats
Cry
Don't cry out loud
You've gotta bear your cross
But never dream too loud
And you're tied
Tied to the next time
You realize
Your crimes

Chorus

Time stood still
Monday mornin' yeah
Showed me what I had to see
It's not the way I thought it should be
Oh yeah

You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats pretend
Oh January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
You're my January friend
And every heart that beats tonight's
Pretend
