“Someone Else’s Year”

Happy New Year

New year, new world Thinking of you A new day to pick myself up So you can throw me away

Owls have fallen from the sky Another phone call, not for me The sound of a water tap Choices, singularities, down the drain A stain in my suit of rain Come and look, let’s hang upside down In perspective, another fallen tree An axe of silence, chopping me away Someday In colder months where I’m blue with you A snow angel in white hue A voice that can never be too loud Somber past years speak closer each tear Nothing has changed, I still feel this A tool for watching stars and leap But yesterday still owns me Someday, some way Shooting stars will swim by our lake
