New Year Song - Hey Rosetta!

Lend me your walking stick

And I lean on it

And I walk on out through the snow bound yard

Past the neighbours on the lawn

Drinking last year out

I leave this town, cut the year off clear

Cauterized by leaving

Sick and tired of living last year

Roll out the tarmac and baptize the air craft

Escaping loss and push me off

The cold can bleach us out

And freeze our doubt

And all that you knew becomes muffled and mute

But I’m done with it

All this standing stiff

When I move my mouth only snow comes out

Euthanized by whiteness

But I’ll arise despite this last year

So roll out the tarmac and baptize the aircraft

Escaping loss and push me off

Should old acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind

Should acquaintance be forgot

And auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We’ll take a cup of kindness yet

For auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We’ll take a cup of kindness yet

For auld lang syne
