The Old and the New Year Day

When I close my eyes

I see my passed drifting away

When I open my eyes

 I see my future I Realised

Slowly the clock is ticking

I’m lonely and drinking

For I’m alone

Nobody is home

 It’s almost new years day

A tear left my eyes anyway

And put a trace on my cheek

On this day I’m very weak

Slowly the clock is ticking

I’m lonely and drinking

For I’m alone

Nobody is home

Dear woman do you feel the same

So come to me and put a claim

I realised it can be you

A sweet and tender woman so true

Slowly the clock is ticking

I’m lonely and drinking

For I’m alone

Nobody is home
