INTRO/VERSE PROGRESSION

Maybe I should I just let it be,
Maybe it will all come back to me,
Sing Oh january, Oh (back to INTRO/VERSE)

How i lived a childhood in snow,
and all my teens in tow,
stuffed in a strata of clothes,

Hail the winter days after dark,
Wandering the gray memorial park,
A fleeting beating heart,

What were the words I mean to say before you left?
When I could see your breath lead where you were going to
