dream alone

in the new year

oh im still living
at the old address
and im waiting on the weather
that i know will pass
i know that its true
its gonna be a good year
out of the darkness
and into the fire
i tell you i love you
and my hearts in the strangest place
thats how it started
and thats how it ends
well i know you're with me
its a point of pride
and its louder than lightning
in this room of mine
oh im just like you
i never hear the bad news
and i never will
we won by a landslide
our troubles are over
my sisters are married to all of my friends
yeah thats how it started
you took your sweet time
and i waited without complaint
til all the pipe dreams
made me insane
so its all over
its all over anyhow
you took your sweet time
finally i opened my eyes
my friends and my family
they are asking of me:
how long will you ramble?
how long did you say it would be?
snow is still falling
im almost home
ill see you in the new year
