ALL OF THE LAUGHTER © Krista Detor, The Silver Wood: Wintersongs All your old lovers are airborne now Dry bouquets, wedding rings Float away, pretty things… And the river you crossed is an ocean now Drank a town and a factory Drank the ground, brought you to me… And I wish you Wings that will flutter in the deepest water Somebody to stay by you near And all of the laughter, happy ever after And all this, a happy New Year And some that you love may be airborne now See them fly, give them wings Say goodbye, lovely things… Somewhere a sun has gone nova now Somewhere something bigger is shining now A light in the dark, someone stretching her arms Going out and forever, forever… I wish you Wings that will flutter in the deepest water Somebody to stay by you near And all of the laughter, happy ever after And all this, a happy New Year The pictures you painted are burning now Canvas bare, slate is clean Fire and air, blue and green… And I wish you Wings that will flutter in the deepest water Somebody to stay by you near And all of the laughter, happy ever after And all this, a happy New Year And I wish you Wings that will flutter in the deepest water Somebody to stay by you near And all of the laughter, happy ever after And all this, a happy New Year For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We'll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne
