Another Year Lyrics - Singles - Fifteen

Every year at this time 

I'd look over at some friend of mine 

I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies 

They've been clear for days 

I think we have survived 

Another Year 

Hey Brother 

The newspaper said you were 38 years old 

Dead from hypothermia 

I didn't even know 

That California got that cold 

Hey Brother 

The cops found your body 

In the Ivy next to the tree 

Right there on University 

And I couldn't help thinking 

It could've been me 

Every year at this time 

I'd look over at some friend of mine 

I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies 

They've been clear for days 

I think we have survived 

Another Year 

Hey Sister 

Newspaper said they found your murdered body 

Beheaded, flaoting in garbage 

Right there in the Oakland estuary 

Hey Sister 

Cops said no one reported you missing 

No friends or Family 

Just another homeless woman 

Found dead on the street 

And I couldn't help thinking 

It could of been me 

Mother, Earth 

Father, Sky 

I am the intersectino of you both 

I am heaven on Earth 

I am union 

Hey Mother 

You always took such good care of me 

And I can't help thinkin' 

That I get everything I need 

Hey Father 

Sometimes it's so scary 

Being a kid 

Living on the street 

But I get everything I need 

I get everything I need 

Every year at this time 

I'd look over at some friend of mine 

I'd realize and say Hey, have you seen the skies 

They've been clear for days 

I think we have survived 

Another Year
