New Year’s Day is the biggest holiday in Japanese culture, a family gathering with specific foods you eat to ring in the new year and a new beginning. I wrote this awhile back, trying to channel Stevie Wonder. Go figure!

Lyrics
Home, Home againPhotographs and names of long lost friends
Shoebox under your bed
Old, Old Familiar
ghosts they joke and poke and tease you
Where, where did she go?
She found her way, found her way back home
Echoes- are the changing leaves, a static TV Home again- Home for New year's eve
Hold, Hold those thoughts that reel you in back to the old old you
someone you knew, someone who
found his way back home
Echoes- are a matchbox car, a dusty guitar Home again, Home for New year's Day
Lie Awake- Paws and yawns of a phantom dog
drops of rain, tryin' to find
find their way back home
Home, Home again- every year's a photo in a frame
Neatly arranged- waiting for the call to come back home
Echoes- Time's a palindrome- backwards and forwards- at least at home
Home for New Year's Day
