Rollicking folk rock song - acknowledging the passing of time and looking to the promise of the future with the dawning of a new year.

lyrics

The End of the Year

It’s the end of the year, that’s all I can say

to hell with the past, let’s get on our way

bring water or wine or whiskey or beer

fill up a glass and we'll raise it in cheer

to all bright horizons shining anew

with love and good people to share them with you.

It’s the end of the year another one’s past

and if your like me then you feel a bit gassed.

maybe for better, sometimes, not sure

but it feels right tonight as we head out the door.

Dawn, Christmas morning, the tree lights the day

and shines for the New Year rolling this way,

nothing can stop it, best not to try,

so just set your rail and draw a true line

and come back tomorrow, tomorrow, and then

see what it brings, maybe a friend

to share in the feast as we sing the years end
the reaper is waiting with old father time,

laughing and singing while we walk the line

so join in the party cause whatever you do

they are just going to keep getting closer to you.

It’s the end of the year, that’s all I can say

the past is the past, let’s toast the new day

bring water or wine or whiskey or beer

fill up a glass and we'll raise it in cheer

to all bright horizons shining anew

with love and good people to share them with you.
