This Year

Lyrics

This year, this year Oh, what's the look this year? Is it the look of things to come? Has it all been said, has it all been done? The sun upon the sea, did you dress that way for me? This year, this year Everyone just stood around And watched my family tree burn down Watched it crumble on the ground Making no protesting sound As if justice was finally found And anything beautiful That you can contrive Has no desire to survive, to survive This year, this year the mirror on the wall It cracked right through the middle And spring turned into fall Love is the most beautiful killer of them all
