Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
January started slow.
The coldest winds,
and the deepest snow.
And it'll all stop until we get home,
and the lights go off even when you're alone
And time just marches on...
and the time just marches on.
Those soft little tunes you sung,
come back sometimes in your native tongue.
September came around again,
a year older, and summer's end
And time just marches on...
and the time just marches on.
The coldest winds,
and the deepest snow.
And it'll all stop until we get home,
and the lights go off even when you're alone
And time just marches on...
and the time just marches on.
Those soft little tunes you sung,
come back sometimes in your native tongue.
September came around again,
a year older, and summer's end
And time just marches on...
and the time just marches on.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
This song makes me feel so romantic. Like walking through the snow on a winter night to sit by a fireplace with a pretty girl.
This song makes me miss home, is winter now and i'm all alone...
