Indian summer goes so fast And then the rain really starts to fall. Don't the streets look different babe? The pigeons all have disappeared. Who knows where they go? Your friends will all come visit soon, A slumber party in your new room, Laughter through the walls. All the things you used to say To make you laugh; the good old days Dancing right before you. January, first bring your concerns and cares to me. We don't want anybody talking. January, live up to your namesake, You can be so cold but everything is new And hope is there to see us through. All the things you left behind Material and the human kind Never could define you. Letters wrapped in rubber bands A conversation with the grocery man Only could confine you. January, first bring your concerns and cares to me. We don't want anybody talking. January, live up to your namesake, You can be so cold but everything is new And hope is there to see us through. Indian summer goes so fast And then the rain really starts to fall.
