The world’s a little older
As distant sounds moans
The night’s a little colder
And I’m alone, Happy New Year

A cheer of New Year spirit
Dies on the still night air
I shout but you can’t hear me
And you don’t care, Happy New Year
Baby you don’t care, Happy New Year


The year is lined with promise
So greet it joyfully
A time so full of promise
Holds nothing for me, Happy New Year

No bridges left to cross now
No dragons left to slay
And everything is lost now
You’ve a gone away, Happy New Year
You’ve a gone away, Happy New Year
