A New Year’s Song — Lyrics

It took me years to do my waiting
For the day when I would find
I won’t be waiting till the end of time
I’m standing still, I’m contemplating
My fear of being left behind
Time has never been a friend of mine

Another New year
Soon to slip away
But I’m not yet through here
Help me save this night please, cancel the day

I’m restoring my amazement
At this multitude of worlds
And how they fit together now
And I am clinging to the moment
That is never to return
Let’s just say this is forever now

Take me back to
The shores where we once played
Or are you just a part of
That tapestry of dreams that I’ve made

I’m getting weak I’m sentimental
I could just fall into your arms
If that wasn’t something I would never do
My New Year’s Queen, my only comfort
Where have you been and will you stay?
Somebody save me, it doesn’t matter who

No more of these brainstorms
I’m not to be trusted when I fly
And though you’re not what I prayed for
That’s o.k. ’cause neither am I

And I’m restoring my amazement
At this world in constant change
Where everything’s so well arranged
The true and the bad things, good and evil ones
And those who’re not to blame
And I will cry as long as I am not ashamed

(Cry then) I’d do
(Cry now) if not for you
It’s those silly tears that got me blind
(Please stop crying ’cause)
It’s tearing up my mind

How sweet the difference
This bitter powder makes
I’ll take over
A little smile is all it takes

And I’m restoring my amazement
At this multitude of worlds
And how they fit together now
I’m restoring what I am
I’ll explore the why and how
That is things are getting better now

I’ll adore you, let us leave
There will be you, there will be me
We shall be free, we’ll make a better crowd

That is things are getting better
Really, really getting better
Things are finally getting better now
