New Years

When the sun moved late and set so soon The extended night had a charming gloom The long-awaited weight on my chest

Is your weary head laying down to rest

Were you sorry or sincere when our ship was steered Into an island merely made of sand

Oh darling don’t deny the end is nigh

Dignity did die by my hand

Honey when you hold me head to heel

You give my stomach lining a silver feel

As the new year falls with the layers of snow Can we forsake our sorrows until I go
