New Year
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
[Verse 2]
We talk about your brother
Stories left unheard
You share blood but you don't share words
Same room on Holidays
No apologies
[Chorus]
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
[Verse 3]
Cool of October
We feel the sorrow of St. Jude
Void between strangers as the clock quickly moves
It's a long way from paradise
A long way from Eden's Tree
[Chorus]
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
[Verse 4]
Six months turns to six years
Time is like a ghost
Lost in my mind again
Yet suddenly I'm alone
That loneliness comes and goes
It speaks harsh words to me
[Chorus]
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
[Verse 5]
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 is in heaven
Don't make sense to me
[Chorus]
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
