Lyrics:
The day she breaks now in the eastern sky
Came a blackbird yes I saw her fly
Standing on the mountain far from everyone
It was the time, I knew, time had surely come
January’s son
Where did you go wrong
(Tell me boy) Where did you go?
Must have been the gypsy, showed me the way
Do what must be done, she said, know there comes a day
You shall hear the spirits whisper on the wind
Calling you to join them as the new day just begins
January’s son
Where did you go wrong
(Tell me boy) Where did you go?
