New Year
Fireside conversations
Bourbon on our breath
Laughter in the kitchen
The children make a mess
From the front porch to the backyard
Tragedy in between
Its a New Year
Its a new song
Its the same mystery
We talk about your brother
Stories left unheard
You share blood
But you dont share words
Same room on Holidays
No apologies
Its a New Year
Its a new song
Its the same mystery
Cool of October
We feel the sorrow of St. Jude
Void between strangers
As the clock quickly moves
Its a long way from paradise
So long way from Eden's Tree
Its a New Year
Its a new song
Its the same mystery
Six months turns to six years
Time is like a ghost
Lost in my mind again
Yet suddenly Im alone
That loneliness comes and goes
It speaks harsh words to me
Its a New Year
Its a new song
Its the same mystery
Walking through my neighborhood
I have nothing left to say
Life and death they never rest
And I still got bills to pay
On earth as it is in heaven
It dont make sense to me
Its a New Year
Its a new song
Its the same mystery
Its a New Year
Its a new song
Its the same mystery
