Just another night was all it was;
Just another night was all it should have been;
They prayed for a quiet night;
They wouldn’t get it.
The night wore heavy the later the hour;
Bar fights, domestic abuse,
Drunk drivers, a suicide,
Worlds of hurt in an anguished world.
Gage and DeSoto slumped out of the squad;
Only one more hour till relief arrived;
One more hour till time was their own;
Just one short hour...
New Year’s should be a time to celebrate,
A time for joy;
Not so for the men of 51,
As the klaxons sounded again...
