lyrics

Oh time that was so dear
It's the last day of the year
I'm so glad to see it gone

Everyone familiar, strange
Went through some big life change
Every single one I know
Some big ol' change did undergo this year

Change comes slow and hard
So pay heed and do regard
Every little thing you feel
Every little thing is real somehow

Slow train, the doors are wide
Whistle blows and everyone must ride
Everybody must ride

To each last friend of mine
I toast and drink red wine
Further now we're intertwined
The pain and love is all enshrined in this year

The wind's whistling through the pines
I'm eager now and it smells so fine
Winds of change please fill my sail
I pray that true love shall prevail in me
