The city, as blue as it's cold Buildings: drunken and old You, your heart of gold Lost in the city I know So I spell your name in the snow No way to see you tonight The rest of it's perfect but this is not right Please, have one in my name No one will know all the same Knock it back just for the pain I need you to drink me away Dull all the things you can still never say Don't make me do this alone I'm on my third, but I'm still on my own Cheers to another New Year Sheds her old skin like a snake No need to humour the daft Predictable foolish mistakes That dreamers like us often make Hoping the wind isn't cold Hoping that life doesn't make us grow old OK... I know what to do Let's just pretend for a while In the spirit of holiday lies As white as the snow we revile So we can have just one more night Out with the year that departs I'll go away and leave you to your heart
