New Year’s Resolutions

Forgotten immediately

Promises made

Broken eventually

Good deeds done

Reversed irretrievably

Forecast dim

Undoubtedly

I can’t go on, I can’t go on, I can’t go on

Yet I’ll go on

And I’ll return again

To that burning fountain

All that I loved

Abused recklessly

All that loved me

Holding on just barely

What else can I do?

I’ve done it all already so poorly

Take another shot

Those double meanings implore me

I can’t go on, I can’t go on, I can’t go on

Yet I’ll go on

And I’ll return again

To that burning fountain

Baby said “Come look at the sunrise”

You talkin’ to me? That’s a surprise!

Everything is gonna be alright

If you only hold me

Through the dawn’s early light

I can’t go on, I can’t go on, I can’t go on

Yet I’ll go on

And I’ll return again

To that burning fountain

I can’t go on

Yet I’ll go on

And I’ll return again

To that burning fountain
