Lyrics
December 31st
December 31st today
Driving down old 78
The snow has slowly turned to rain
Can?t recall where I?m going
All these talk shows on TV
And suddenly its clear to me
Abandon all humanity
Or go out and find it again
I?ve been living a life so much smaller than myself
These invisible ties they just hold me down
Well here?s my resolution ?
Not any more
A dying woman?s wish for me
Was to celebrate diversity
Taste the salt of seven seas
Never live with regret
Gonna spin the globe, see where I land
One way ticket in my hand
Gonna try my luck in Ketchican
Seward?s folly?s fine with me
I?ve been living a life so much smaller than myself
Take a breath; look around at this gold rush town
It?s my evolution
I wanted more
I am sound asleep when an ocean breeze opens the door
The muse is back from the dead and she stands on the shore
In the wake of a dream I see a shadow of me lying on the floor
But up ahead of me I see so much more, so much more
December 31st today
