Christmas cards we never sent
Dusty in the basement 
Just like our dreams
They were such pretty things
Now they are withering
That's truly fine with me

I cried in bed for three days straight
From the front room you listened in
The same way it's always been

But I tried
You tried
Some rivers and oceans aren't meant to collide
And I died
You died
You're steadfast and cautious
My waves made you nauseous
The current shifted
I lost my grip and
I watched you slip
Through my hands

I say hello to my new neighbors
With their baby on the way
Deirdre says I'm in her prayers
What a lovely thing to say

Our tree had her last parade
In that big truck down to the pit
Maybe next year I'll light candles
Next year I'll give a shit

And I tried
You tried
Some rivers and oceans aren't meant to collide
And I died
You died
You're steadfast and cautious
My waves made you nauseous
The current shifted
I lost my grip and
I watched you slip
Through my hands

Maybe Next Year

Award winning singer/songwriter Hannah Jane Kile (*Kile pronounced like *Smile) has performed at countless venues & is a favorite opener among celebrated artists some of which include Grammy Award winning Patty Griffin, Grammy nominated drummer Sammy Miller & The Congregation, Ingrid Michelson, & Grammy Award winning A Great Big World.
 
Kile is releasing her 5th collection of music in four acts themed for each season, starting with the coldest. It is to be titled Winter (December 2021). Hannah’s first of the four collections is the darkest of any other albums released prior, and its contents consist of stories of alcoholism, abandonment, mental illness, and at times, cruel honesty. Winter holds an intensity and timelessness not yet seen by Hannah’s previous releases. Fans of Adele, Norah Jones, & Ray Lamontagne will find this 7 track album to their tastes.
