The evening dust is flying, flying to die The day is on the cusp of its breath in the sky The year is sinking in shadows tonight It will never riseΩ« it's dying tonight The bubbles of dreams and hope are no more The waves have washed them from the shore We are left with the only abiding images To look at them in their hollow cages I see I see the glow in the steamy sky The light of the new day passes by It's the light of the New Year that gleams It has arrived they are its beams Let us dream let us smile O my dear The buds of hope will blow let us cheer The sea of joys will flow everyone will drink The ship will sail smoothly it won't sink
