The Kelly Song Collective
New Year’s Song
Nothing changed but everything
So nothing stayed the same
I’d put it all behind me
And shake some of this shame
I stood before the altar once
Resolute and true
Crucified for blowing sins
Absolved me of a few
Kicked a stone on Stephen’s day
Walking up a hill
And the taste of Auld Lang Syne
Bitter as a pill
Carols in the wintertime
Mark another year
I’ll play my part and celebrate
Health and peace and cheer
Rusted words and remnants
Like iron in a cask
Days dilute the nights distill
The questions that I ask
Mulled the whine with Robbie Burns
Listened to him talk
Memories of a mouse inside
His sporran was a hawk
