In the New Year

Oh, I'm still living

At the old address

And I'm waiting on the weather

That I know will pass

I know that it's true

It's gonna be a good year

Out of the darkness

And into the fire

I tell you I love you

And my heart's in the strangest place

That's how it started

And that's how it ends

Well, I know you're with me

It's a point of pride

And it's louder than lightning

In this room of mine

Oh, I'm just like you

I never hear the bad news

And I never will

We won by a landslide

Our troubles are over

My sisters are married to all of my friends

Yeah, that's how it started

You took your sweet time

And I waited by without complaint

'Til all the pipe dreams made me insane

So it's all over

It's all over anyhow

You took your sweet time

Finally, I opened my eyes

My friends and my family

They all ask me one thing

"How long will you ramble?"

How long will you stay with me?

The snow is still falling

I'm almost home

I'll see you in the new year
