Let the judges be fair,
this was a broken year.
Let the judges be kind,
looking back on our sweet time.
Broken Year
Lyrics by Sylvie
We traveled this road before
Crossed every bridge and more
You say it is what it is
You got nothing left to give
Let the judges be fair
this was a broken year
Let the judges be kind
looking back on our sweet time
We climbed this mountain before
aimed for the skies and more
Wasn't I the scent on your skin?
You were my only reason
Let the judge be fair
this was a broken year
Let the judges be kind
looking back on our sweet time
We walked this valley before
found comfort on familiar shore
Didn't I put our love first?
Didn't I quench your thirst
Let the judges be fair
this was a broken year
Let the judges be kind
looking back on our sweet time.
We played fiddles by the fire
singing songs of love and desire
We drank whiskey like it was wine
and we laughed until we cried
And we drank more than we should
trying to get it back to good
Oh, we drank more than we should
trying to get it back to good
Oh, we drank more than we should
trying to get it back to good
and we did the best we could
We did the best we could
We did the best we could
We did the best we could
We did the best we could
We did the best we could
We did the best we could
