Lyrics
New Year?s Eve
On a whim
He went in
To perhaps see his tomorrows.
She grasped his hand and peered at him.
Here?s the sign.
Your life line
Indicates some pain and sorrow.
But heed my words before you leave
Refrain:
?Beware of New Year?s Eve,
Don?t stray from home,? said she.
He went out
With some doubt
Whether she was really psychic.
But not to take the chance with his route,
Every year
He?d stay near
Giving reasons quite sporadic,
But nothing bad or sad would appear.
Refrain
Never harmed,
He felt charmed
So he lived his life more freely.
He wrestled with success-he strong armed.
Wheeled and dealed,
Was well heeled,
Took a wife and had a family.
But he grew bored so he played the field..
Refrain
She?d been his friend,
Through all trends.
Then she turned into his lover.
Divorced, laid off with no dividends.
Their life was tough,
It was rough
Even when they lived together
His life became a web to unweave.
So he told her the prophecy.
?Beware of New Year?s Eve.?
She laughed and pulled his sleeve?
?I was born on New Year?s Eve.?
