New Year's Eve, Whitechapel

Press play and turn around
Sashay across the floor to where I sit
Swamped in my linen shirt
Covering up your denim skirt
It's a perfect fit
Slow motion ballet
Bare feet on the parquet
You pull me from the sofa to my feet
Red wine and cigarettes
Lipstick kisses upon my neck
You pull me close so I can feel you heat

It happened again
All of my friends
Drift away, drift away
Now we're alone
All on our own
Drift away, drift away
And once again
All of my friends
Drift away, drift away
Now we're alone
All on our own
Drift away, drift away

Fireworks in the sky tonight
Room alive with multi-coloured light
A car alarm rings out across the square
A chandelier swings from a ceiling rose
We stand reflected in sash windows
We could be alone for all I care
Hand in hand face to face
Slow jams by the fireplace
A clock runs slow above us on the shelf
Smile at me and I smile back
Red wine turned our smiles black
As the clock strikes twelve

It happened again
All of my friends
Drift away, drift away
Now we're alone
All on our own
Drift away, drift away
And once again
All of my friends
Drift away, drift away
Now we're alone
All on our own
Drift away, drift away
