Cheers to Another New Year

The city, as blue as it’s cold
Buildings: drunken and old
You, your heart of gold
Lost in the city I know
So I spell your name in the snow
No way to see you tonight
The rest of it’s perfect but this is not right
Please, have one in my name
No one will know all the same
Knock it back just for the pain
I need you to drink me away
Dull all the things you can still never say
Don’t make me do this alone
I’m on my third, but I’m still on my own
Cheers to another New Year
Sheds her old skin like a snake
No need to humour the daft
Predictable foolish mistakes
That dreamers like us often make
Hoping the wind isn’t cold
Hoping that life doesn’t make us grow old
OK… I know what to do
Let’s just pretend for a while
In the spirit of holiday lies
As white as the snow we revile
So we can have just one more night
Out with the year that departs
I’ll go away and leave you to your heart
