lyrics

A year is a lifetime
Sometimes, sometimes
Calendars all have their reasons
The hourglass won't empty
This time, this time
And leaves fall in spite of the season

I wish that I could say
It was just an early gray
And I was many moons away from way back when
And before the new one starts
I wish with all my heart
That just once
I could go around again
Again

I arrived right on schedule
Somehow, somehow
A healthy five foot ten, age twenty-five
I’ve been waiting for my birthday
To come round, come round
As long as I've been alive

I wish that I could say
It was just an early gray
And I was many moons away from way back when
And before the new one starts
I wish with all my heart
That just once
I could go around again
Again

Will it flash before my eyes
As I’m saying my goodbyes?
Can I hope to be reborn
On a January morn?

I wish that I could say
It was just an early gray
And I was many moons away from way back when
And before the new one starts
I wish with all my heart
That just once
I could go around again
Again
