Lyrics January Stars - Sting

January Stars

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 probably 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
If January stars came true
January stars
