Lyrics

I'll wear the jewels you gave me round my neck tonight

I will wear the jewelry you gave me around my neck tonight.

Though I know you won't be there

Even though I am aware you won't be present.

And I'll wear them in a gold chain, that catches in the light

I'll wear the jewelry in a gold chain, catching the light.

Though I know of course, you won't appear

Despite knowing you won't be there.


And I'll leave the party early after a drink or two

I'll leave the party early after having a drink or two.

And I'll check my phone for calls

I'll check my phone for calls.

Though I know there will be none

Although I know there will be none from you.

From you, from you

No calls from you.


And I'll walk home with snow falling

I'll walk home with snow falling.

Deep on frozen lawns

On frozen lawns covered in deep snow.

And I'll leave all those others celebrating

I'll leave others celebrating and go home.

All the things that they have done

Ignoring the achievements they are celebrating.


I'll come over to your office and watch them come and go

I'll come to your office and watch people coming and going.

Though I know, I won't see you there

Even though I know I won't see you there.

And I'll take a train down to the coast and sit and watch the sea

I'll take a train to the coast and sit alone, watching the sea.

I'll be sitting there, alone

I'll be sitting there, alone.


And as usual, above all things I miss you every day

As usual, above all things, I miss you every day without pause.

Without pause

Happy new year my darling, happy new year

Happy New Year, my darling. Wishing a happy new year.


I'll walk home with snow falling

I'll walk home with snow falling.

Deep on frozen lawns

On frozen lawns covered in deep snow.

And I'll leave all those others celebrating

I'll leave others celebrating and go home.

All the things that they have done

Ignoring the achievements they are celebrating.


Happy new year my darling, happy new year (And I'll leave)

Happy New Year, my darling. Wishing a happy new year.

Happy new year my darling, happy new year (And I'll leave)

-

Happy new year my darling, happy new year (And I'll leave)

-

Happy new year my darling, happy new year (And I'll leave)

-

And I'll leave

And I'll leave.

Leave

Leave.
