Lyrics Happy New Year - Oneida

Happy New Year

A Happy New Year to you all
May you never fall
I put desires in the dirt
I was alone, I wasn’t hurt
The sandman acted miserly
Awake my eyes in cups of gris
The quiet night falls like a tune
Another song that spells the gloom
And through the window’s shattered glass
The ladders sprawled on burnt brown grass
The sun withheld its light from me
I said a prayer, «we shall see.»
I woke up drifting it was a loss
The strangest feelings crawling past
I said hellow to the counter man
And bought a coffee paper and
Walked around the park alone
Before I took a bus back home
And through the window’s shattered glass
The ladders sprawled on burnt brown grass
The sun withheld its light from me
I said a prayer, «we shall see.»
