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
Buzzing and waiting 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 make it home alive
The Earth it turns, spring rushes in
Mother wakes up a little brighter than before
Cold melts away and the gardens grow
The air is crisp and the 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 coming in hot
The sun, it calls, so let's go outside
Toasting our drinks in the warm sunshine
The asphalt smoulders in the city streets
You better run fast or you're gonna burn your feet
Splashing and yelling, 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
Like embers, they float into the streets
Golden and red at the fancy feast
Well, let's close all 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
Day's too short and the night's too long
Carollers 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
