EVERY DAY A NEW YEAR STARTS
NEW YEAR
The sky above is clear still
But in the evening, there’s a chill.
From the window looking out to sea
It's impossible to know, maybe,
That summer’s already over -
The sun just tires a little earlier.
In the yard, out on the grass,
The days are shortening fast
But it doesn’t yet seem different.
If you’re really a good friend
Just help me and pretend -
Don't tell me another year’s already passed.
No, no, it can’t be true -
Years aren’t seconds on the clock.
If you look, you'll see, too,
Everything’s the way it was.
All my senses rebel in shock -
Give me just a few more days,
I’ve not done anything yet this year.
The clouds don’t yet bring rain -
Don't point out the signs again,
Don't get off before your stop,
Don't show me news forecasts.
Have pity, like a caring pop,
I'm still fast asleep - don't wake me up.
No, no, it can’t be true...
A year, a year,
A year, another year
A year, a year,
Don't tell me another year's already passed...
