New Golden Age (Bonus Track) - Keane

She sets her alarm Five minutes to midnight And wakes just in time To greet the new year Remembers the kisses Remembers the laughter And all thats gone away She shuffles around Turning the lights on Goes to the kitchen Gets the champagne Opens the window And wrapped in a blanket Begins to count and wait 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Happy new year Happy new year They say you can hear it Over the island Starting in Times Square And spreading throughout A roar like the ocean It comes from a distance Grows louder then turns quiet She sits in a dream Or in a memory While old convernations Play in her ears Sometimes the minutes Feel longer than hours Some days feel long as years Shes just glad she gets to be around To see a nother spring come to this town Happy new year Happy new year To you She sets her alarm Five minutes to midnight And wakes just in time To say her goodbyes Thanking the old year For all it has brought her No mention of the things it took away She shuffles around Turning the lights out Closes the window Checks on the locks Folds up the blanket Empties the bottle And leaves it in the hallway dark She's just glad she gets to be around To see another spring come to this town Happy New Year x6 To you Happy new year x6 To you

The fading temple bells calm the waves. The world rocks carefully. The sand draws its constellations in the moonlight. The clocks turn back time to greet the Spring, While abandoned dolls in the seaweed dream with open pearl eyes, Among whales Snoring dark frequencies into the night. We dream of stones now. All the softness is gone. Salt alters all that remains. It shapes pebbles and eternal thirst. It carves up your body, so that you too will vapourise And the rain will carry you out to sea Slowly, I wake from a dream to be in another dream Where everything moves to the beat of a resonating drum It rings louder and louder and longer and longer All the way to the border And back to when we were young and out of our minds Out of our minds Slowly, I fall into a dream to think that's just a dream As breathing in and out with my beating heart It beats louder and louder and longer and longer All the way to the border And back to when I was young and out of my mind Out of my mind
