歌曲歌詞
Drops from the faucet
Like a nervous heart
Beat on my porcelain sink
A rhythm avant garde
I page through the phone book
Reach for my fountain pen
Is he comin' in for the holidays
To haunt me again
I call up the grand central
Information please
Is that nickel line on time oh fine
It's a hairdo with a wave
We both forgot and forgave last time
A peddler of pots and pans
Down on union square
Said city hall
Wants us off the street
There's no christmas in the air
Some high brows were waiting
Carnation bright lapels
Their big cars line the curbs
Outside those grand hotels
I passed a marquee third avenue
Ramona with Loretta young
And I swung myself around
And headed uptown to the train
So this is new year's eve
Another year has passed
We wait so patiently but still
They come and go so fast
I stand on this platform
Wait for that basket of light
And the sound of the whistle screamin' out
Like a hot trumpet in the night
And as I'm waitin'
I wonder why and where
And what went wrong
But this song don't tell no lies
It was just a quick goodbye
