Same Old Lang Syne - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
Met my old lover in the grocery store[00:00:19]
The snow was falling Christmas Eve[00:00:24]
I stole behind her in the frozen foods[00:00:28]
And I touched her on the sleeve[00:00:32]
She didn't recognize the face at first[00:00:37]
But then her eyes flew open wide[00:00:41]
She went to hug me[00:00:46]
And she spilled her purse[00:00:47]
And we laughed until we cried[00:00:49]
We took her groceries to the checkout stand[00:01:13]
The food was totaled up and bagged[00:01:17]
We stood there lost in our embarrassment[00:01:21]
As the conversation dragged[00:01:25]
We went to have ourselves a drink or two[00:01:30]
But couldn't find an open bar[00:01:35]
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store[00:01:39]
And we drank it in her car[00:01:43]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:01:48]
We drank a toast to now[00:01:52]
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness[00:01:57]
But neither one knew how[00:02:00]
She said she'd married her an architect[00:02:06]
Who kept her warm and safe and dry[00:02:10]
She would have liked to say[00:02:15]
She loved the man[00:02:16]
But she didn't like to lie[00:02:18]
I said the years had been a friend to her[00:02:24]
And that her eyes were still as blue[00:02:28]
But in those eyes I wasn't sure[00:02:33]
If I saw doubt or gratitude[00:02:35]
She said she saw me in the record stores[00:02:42]
And that I must be doing well[00:02:46]
I said the audience was heavenly[00:02:50]
But the traveling was hell[00:02:54]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:03:00]
We drank a toast to now[00:03:03]
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness[00:03:08]
But neither one knew how[00:03:12]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:03:18]
We drank a toast to time[00:03:21]
Reliving in our eloquence[00:03:27]
Another 'Auld Lang Syne'[00:03:29]
The beer was empty[00:03:38]
And our tongues were tired[00:03:39]
And running out of things to say[00:03:43]
She gave a kiss to me as I got out[00:03:47]
And I watched her drive away[00:03:51]
Just for a moment I was back at school[00:03:56]
And felt that old familiar pain[00:04:02]
And as I turned to make my way back home[00:04:07]
The snow turned into rain[00:04:12]
