New Year

Last call had come and gone
And we’re the last ones at the party
When the band starts up a song
Oh the way she moves her body
I’m head over heels
She’s the only thing that’s real
I forget to ask her name
I forget to tie the tether
She embarks at the refrain
So I stumble chasing after
On the way to the car
Cannons in the dark
She fades into light
She fades into morning
Alone on the pier
Nothing for me here
As Saturday night
Fades into Sunday
A year begins again
