The Janus Moon

The 17^th of January, the Janus moon;

A few days perhaps, and then so soon;

I will be gone, no farewell glance.

You will forget my role perchance.

It is your nature, not to realise;

How great an effort, this heart denies;

To keep a promise and save a soul

That shattered it once, if truth be told.

I know the words - I have sung this song.

I know the words because I wrote this song.
