Happy New Year - Deloris

I should have known to be afraid

Things always happen on holidays

Something in the water or sun

Turns just a friend into just someone

Someone new someone complete

Someone that takes over your best friends feet

At breakfast time you start again

Darting eyes make darker friends

So when you get home and we don’t ring

You can take out your purse

And say that’s him

He used to be so good to me He used to be so kind

I wish it wasn’t true

I guess it happens all the time

The fireworks

And fire falls down

On a thousand kids

Running through this town

But all i can think

Is it isn’t right

That i can drink and wear

Short sleeves at night

But I can’t look at her

And I can’t breathe

And I can’t stand up Or stay on my feet

And I can’t lean

Right up to her ear

And whisper

Happy new year
