Another year older, it came and went
|
Blood and the tears and the money spent
|
The new year's here with the same old cast
|
We dance and we drink like it may be our last
|
Buzzin' waitin' for the countdown to come
|
Feels like slow motion from ten to one
|
A kiss and the fireworks light the sky
|
Falling apart over Auld Lang Syne
|
Let's focus on this night alone
|
Just hope that we'd make it home alive
|
|
The Earth it turns, spring rushes in
|
Days get longer and nights go thin
|
Mother wakes up a little brighter than before
|
Cold melts away and the gardens grow
|
The air is crisp and fields are sweet
|
Grass and the daffodils tickling our feet
|
Flowers they bloom and the birds they sing
|
Fill up the day with the songs they bring
|
And I don't feel much like singing at all
|
Seasons change but I don't change at all
|
|
Well I've done wrong, well I've done right, that's clear
|
Maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll be different, this year
|
|
Ooh, here comes summer, well it's comin' in hot
|
No shirt, no school, give it all you got
|
The sun, it calls so let's go outside
|
Toastin' our drinks in the warm sunshine
|
The asphalt smoulders in the city streets
|
You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet
|
Splashin' and yellin' the cannonball
|
Enough love and laughter for one and all
|
Oh the future's, future's looking bright
|
I think that I might get it right after all
|
|
Moody autumn blows in off a summer wind
|
Leaves fall off of the trees, never see them again
|
Like embers they float into the streets
|
Golden and red [?]
|
Well it's close of the curtains, let's stay inside
|
No flower, no fruit and the lawns all die
|
Well how could it all fall apart so fast
|
And why would I think it would ever last?
|
When everything is dying, well, how can I feel alive?
|
|
Oh, life is short, well all good days disappear
|
Maybe I've been lost, maybe I'll get found, this year
|
|
Well the winter and the cold come storming in
|
Kicks down the door and your blood runs thin
|
Day's too short and the night's too long
|
Carolers came, I can't sing along
|
Oh money's all gone, don't know where it went
|
Christmas ain't easy when you can't pay the rent
|
And the lights go out to a silent night
|
And all you can do is just stay in the fight
|
And I just can't see the wrong, and I just can't see the right
|
|
Oh, life is hard, I've been fighting, a failure [?]
|
Maybe I've been lost, don't think I'll get found, this year
|
|
Well I've done wrong, well I've done right, that's clear
|
But maybe I'll get better, maybe I'll be different, next year
|
