Hope came by today but couldn't climb the wall then she went away and I slept through it all From town the bells leaked in and whispered in my ears and striking up my memory I saw it all quite clear And I lift up my voice and raise a question or two Over This Table looking at you There I was again crying up my sleeve counting down the time on another New Year's Eve We looked upon our lives resolved to make things right but time is only wasted when you see it in that light And I lift up my voice May all your wished come true Over This Table looking at you
