lyrics

THIS YEAR WAS A BLUR
black wall of rain, get in and get down
the winter king & his stormy crown
November came, November went
the chain of days, & stir of events
& what it meant I'm not sure
& even though it was a good one
this year was a blur

pirate the hours from devil time
a cup of kindness for old lang syne
ocean to ocean, sky to sky
turn and face backwards, wave good bye
action is the cure
sorrow trailing out behind us
this year was a blur

we put our heads in the sand a little deeper
instead of waking up we joined the sleepers
all these years of promise squanders
down these long and empty street I wander

clear the fog from my mind, the mud from my boots
dust off my hound's tooth suit
the past is another country my dear
but the gang hasn't gone, the gang's all here
& together we'll endure
kick it over to the next one
This year was a blur
kick it over to the next one
kick it over to the next one
