Album: Souvenir (2017)

New Year

Fireside conversations
Bourbon on our breath
Laughter in the kitchen
The children make a mess
From the front porch to the backyard
Tragedy in between
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery

We talk about your brother
Stories left unheard
You share blood
But you don't share words
Same room on Holidays
No apologies
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery

Cool of October
We feel the sorrow of St. Jude
Void between strangers
As the clock quickly moves
It's a long way from paradise
So long way from Eden's Tree
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery

Six months turns to six years
Time is like a ghost
Lost in my mind again
Yet suddenly I'm alone
That loneliness comes and goes
It speaks harsh words to me
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery

Walking through my neighborhood
I have nothing left to say
Life and death they never rest
And I still got bills to pay
On earth as it is in heaven
It don't make sense to me
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
It's a New Year
It's a new song
It's the same mystery
