The Year Lyrics

What can be said in New Year rhymes

That's not been said a thousand times

The new years come, the old years go

We know we dream, we dream we know

We rise up laughing with the light

We lie down weeping with the night

We hug the world until it stings

We curse it then and sigh for wings

We live, we love, we woo, we wed

We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear

And that's the burden of the year
