Happy New Year
I’ll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonightThough I know you won’t be thereI’ll wear them in a gold chain that catches in the lightThough I know of course you won’t appear
I’ll leave the party early after a drink or twoAnd I’ll check my phone for callsThough I know there will be none from you
I’ll walk home with snow fallingDeep on frozen lawnsAnd I’ll leave all those others celebratingAll the things that they have done
I’ll come over to your office and watch them come and goThough I know I won’t see you there
And I’ll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the seaI’ll be sitting there alone
As usual, above all things I miss you every dayWithout pauseHappy new year my darlingHappy new year
I’ll walk home with snow fallingDeep on frozen lawnsAnd I’ll leave all those others celebratingAll the things that they have done
Happy new year my darlingHappy new yearAnd I’ll leave, leave
