New Year

New Year...
What's coming 'round this time?

More hope-
and dreams to bide the time...

The same as the last, with it's old, familiar tasks-
And mourning, I'll fade... further towards the past...

Spring...
...Your sense of loss, *Renewed*

Summer...
...Broiling, become un-glued

Fall...
Every time you want it all-

A winter to change?
-For you to make the call...

New Year-
Where have we gone this time?

This year, let's all stay in tune-
-Of course, I'll remember you...

Each day-
-a day you've gone too soon...

My life-time changed-
-with each passing broken moon...

New Year...

This year...
...You see, it's all gone grey-

Like those moments where the dream fades away...
...and waking, I scream, "Oh GOD this IS to-day!"

The times when the ladder breaks away-
The head in hands, that sings to paint it grey...

From those chilling times, under our broken moon...
...to the long lost friends, that've gone way too soon-

Through broken mirrors and halls of stone-white tombs...

New Year, oh no...
This New Year must go!

This New Year is GETTING OLD!
-This New Year is already gone.
