January Stars Lyrics
Ten below and falling fast
Those days of summer were long past
My horoscope said you'd come back
I have my doubts, you see
And as I watched the mercury
And thought about the prophecy
A new moon and an early thaw
I watched the door for you
If January stars came true
And as I gaze at winter stars
The second house conjunct with Mars
They would suggest that we'll be one
I have my doubts, you see
If I maintain a skeptic's eye
And train the other on the sky
I'd eat my hat if it came true
I'd prob'ly eat yours, too
If January stars came true
If January stars came true
Now I'm in a pretty mess
It's getting warmer, I confess
My horoscope said you'd come back
I have my doubts, it's true
And as I watched the mercury
And thought about the prophecy
A new moon and an early thaw
I left the door for you
If January stars,
If January stars came true
Those days of summer were long past
My horoscope said you'd come back
I have my doubts, you see
And thought about the prophecy
A new moon and an early thaw
I watched the door for you
The second house conjunct with Mars
They would suggest that we'll be one
I have my doubts, you see
And train the other on the sky
I'd eat my hat if it came true
I'd prob'ly eat yours, too
If January stars came true
It's getting warmer, I confess
My horoscope said you'd come back
I have my doubts, it's true
And thought about the prophecy
A new moon and an early thaw
I left the door for you
If January stars came true

This is from from the album Seven Days, released in 1993
In this story two people met in summer. She left and by winter, he was hoping his horoscope was correct and she would return. Like any of us, he’s not sure he should trust the stars—despite the second house being conjunct with Mars. And he wasn’t thinking she would return but if she did, he was ready to eat hats.
I found this song so amusing—makes me smile.
You know those days, both warm and hazy Which melt into tears The hearts that they bewitch? You too resemble such a lit horizon One would have thought your eyes were veiled in haze The fainting eyelids droop and giddy fear thrusts with both hands The soul towards the pit Round goes the languorous waltz again Again The violin trembles A sorrowing soul that fears the unknown night That is the pit of hell Let’s roll in it ourselves to keep alive our hatred without end Oh, lets!
Muse of my heart When January unleashes storm and sleet Will you have coals to warm your violet feet? Or starving clown, show off your charms Your smile Wet with tears that none see to beguile And cheer the sick spleen of the vulgar herd?
Baudelaire [paraphrased]
