Happy New Year

I'll wear the jewels you gave me 'round my neck tonight Though I know you won't be there And I'll wear them in a gold chain, that catches in the light Though I know, of course, you won't appear And I'll leave the party early after a drink or two And I'll check my phone for calls Though I know there will be none From you, from you I'll walk home with snow falling Deep on frozen lawns And I'll leave all those others celebrating All the things that they have done I'll come over to your office and watch them come and go Though I know, I won't see you there And I'll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the sea I'll be sitting there, alone And as usual, above all things, I miss you every day Without pause Happy new year my darlin', happy new year I'll walk home with snow falling Deep on frozen lawns And I'll leave all those others celebrating All the things that they have done Happy new year my darlin', happy new year (and I'll leave) Happy new year my darlin', happy new year (and I'll leave) Happy new year my darlin', happy new year (and I'll leave) Happy new year my darlin', happy new year And I'll leave... (And I'll leave) (Leave)
