about
Another pandemic song, I guess - but probably more to do with the uncertain emptiness of being between one year and the next, at a time when the usual New Years Eve optimism seemed misplaced.
lyrics
New Years Eve 2020
The champagne we never opened
on New Year’s Eve…
we thought we were going to celebrate,
but we only felt relief.
That empty midnight feeling,
when your footsteps disconnect:
Stepping off the end of one year,
and groping for the next.
I’ll take down the decorations
and the Christmas Tree,
while that old debt collector, January
looks in the window at me.
So give me bells and confetti
and bagpipes and cheers,
and let me float here a little longer,
in the space between the years.
