lyrics

I find it hard to believe
Another New Year's Eve
Not so naive
Anymore, are we?

Some time to fill in
School, jobs, children
Still wickedly sylvan
In your smile

By any right we should have had so much longer
Some time to wreck it on our own
A glimpse of the sublime, a hopeless pantomime

You’re still the girl I knew
Hopelessly overdue
Memories flip to
Earthier days

To crumbling nights in June
Bodies still rough hewn
Grasping for the dew and
Drawing out the roots from your breath

By any right we should have had so much longer
Some time to wreck it on our own
A glimpse of the sublime, a hopeless pantomime

Coffee and french toast
A DMZ in Midcoast
I'm talking to your ghost

Well in the morning I’ll be on the train
Hightailing from Maine
Excising again
What remains of you

But for the moment we’re realigned
Singing Auld Lang Syne
Swaying like the pines
That knew what we were

By any right we should have had so much longer
Some time to wreck it on our own
A glimpse of the sublime, a hopeless pantomime
