Love in the New year

A wine stain on the white tablecloth spread
Looks like a map of a land where we haven't fled
The guests are all gone, taxis vanished away
Into the snowy porch of a silent new day
A scarf left behind, confetti on the floor
We survived all the noise just to open this door
To find one another in this quiet space
No rehearsed toasts, just the look on your face


The TV is silent, the screen has gone black
Only the tree blinks, there is no turning back
You take off your shoes in the hall, soft and slow
And there's no one more precious on earth that I know

Припев
This is the love in the New Year we found
Not the loud fireworks booming around
But the way that you look, and the tea that we brew
In the kitchen right now, just me and you
Let the calendar start its brand new count
I only care for this small amount
Of your shoulder touching mine...
That is love defined
Nothing else on the line


Mm-mm-mm...
Just the quiet.
Mm-mm-mm...
Just us.


Let’s leave all the dishes, tomorrow they’ll wait
January allows us to be a bit late
Let the crazy world flow past our window pane
While we stay right here in our quiet domain
You’re humming a tune while you wash off the paint
So simple and real, no sinner, no saint
We sit and we talk, stripped of tinsel and masks
Outside of the rules and the difficult tasks


Everyone waits for a change in the air
Writing their lists with a desperate care
Burning the paper to ash in the glass
But my only change has come to pass
It's you, and the way you are holding my hand
When the clock struck twelve across the land
I heard only your voice...



No loud explosions...
Just this moment.

Припев
This is the love in the New Year we found
Not the loud fireworks booming around
But the way that you look, and the tea that we brew
In the kitchen right now, just me and you
Let the calendar start its brand new count
I only care for this small amount
Of your shoulder touching mine...
That is love defined


The stain on the cloth...
The quiet of January...
Just you and I...
Happy New Year, my love.
