Count the last coins in my pocket
Enough for another beer
Look for meteors crossing winter skies
Their trails round out the year
But it's no geminids this December
My twin does not exist
So I make my New Years resolutions
Cross 'sentimental' off the list
This is a song you see when it's sung
Mist hangs in holiday air
This is a prayer to say when you're done
With trying to disappear
Count the months that I've felt rootless
Enough to fly away
A million starlings swinging
A breeze in black and gray
But there's no flock to keep me company
They only come and go
So I catch the breeze best I can
Taste the spring air as I float
This is a song for forgotten crossings
For the border guards' disquieting stare
This is a prayer to say when you're fading
As you manage to disappear
When you manage a cameo on satellite TV
Call my name out through the streets
When it echoes down cobblestones I know
Someone's still thinking of me
This is a song for highway off ramps
It'll rattle the truckers who hear
These are words to say when you've forgotten
How to disappear
