I’ve been a fan of Eric Peters since 1995, but thanks to the Rabbit Room for reminding me of his more recent single “The Old Year.” Very apropos for tonight. Listen to the song below, but be sure to go and download it here.
“THE OLD YEAR”
There’s so much to be thankful for
And so much to be forgotten
There’s no perfect secret
To the things that bring us joy
Ha ha! to the old year
Goodbye to the cold fear
Gonna cry when I need it, smile when I need it
Goodbye, denial
The mind is a wanderer
It slips off into a false world
Never stopping for a minute
To take a good look around
Ha ha! to the old year
Goodbye to the cold fear
Gonna cry when I need it, smile when I need it
I’m gonna live like a living soul
Gonna write it on my wretched bones
And stop waiting for happily ever after
Ha ha! to the old year
Goodbye to the cold, cold fear
Gonna cry when I need it
Ha ha! to the old year
Wave goodbye to the cold fear
Gonna cry when I need it, smile when I need it, laugh when I need it
Goodbye, denial, goodbye
