In the New Year

Oh, I'm still living

At the old address

And I'm waiting on the weather

That I know will pass

I know that it's true

It's gonna be a good year

Out of the darkness

And into the fire

I tell you I love you

And my heart's in the strangest place

That's how it started

And that's how it ends

Well I know you're with me

It's a point of pride

And it's louder than lightning

In this room of mine

Oh, I'm just like you

I never hear the bad news

And I never will

We won by a landslide

Our troubles are over

My sisters are married to all of my friends

Yeah, that's how it started

You took your sweet time

And I waited by without complaint

Til all the pipe dreams made me insane

So it's all over

It's all over anyhow

You took your sweet time

Finally, I opened my eyes

My friends and my family

They are asking of me:

“How long will you ramble?

"How long did you say it would be?"

Snow is still falling

I'm almost home

I'll see you in the new year
