Mayfield Four

If I had a drink
I'd drink it
If I had a drug
I'd take it
I'd do anything to peel away the pain I feel right now
It's a mild December 31
and snow cries hard onto flooded earth
but it can't compare to tear-soaked beds shared by forbidden lovers again
One more time: Before we fade away and turn the page
One last time: With a final kiss remember this 12/31
Now I'm the one who sits alone
it's my fault I can't hold my own
You see I'm broken down and bleeding from a six month scab we peeled away tonight
In the year's last hour the swan song will fade at last
and I will sing no more
So just let me go
