Met my old lover in the grocery store[00:00:18]
The snow was falling Christmas Eve[00:00:23]
I stole behind her in the frozen foods[00:00:27]
And I touched her on the sleeve[00:00:31]
She didn't recognize the face at first[00:00:36]
But then her eyes flew open wide[00:00:40]
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse[00:00:45]
And we laughed until we cried[00:00:48]
We took her groceries to the checkout stand[00:01:12]
The food was totalled up and bagged[00:01:16]
We stood there lost in our embarrassment[00:01:20]
As the conversation dragged[00:01:24]
We went to have ourselves a drink or two[00:01:29]
But couldn't find an open bar[00:01:34]
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store[00:01:38]
And we drank it in her car[00:01:42]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:01:48]
We drank a toast to now[00:01:51]
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness[00:01:56]
But neither one knew how[00:02:00]
She said she'd married her an architect[00:02:05]
Who kept her warm and safe and dry[00:02:09]
She would have liked to say she loved the man[00:02:14]
But she didn't like to lie[00:02:17]
I said the years had been a friend to her[00:02:23]
And that her eyes were still as blue[00:02:27]
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw[00:02:32]
Doubt or gratitude[00:02:36]
She said she saw me in the record stores[00:02:41]
And that I must be doing well[00:02:45]
I said the audience was heavenly[00:02:49]
But the traveling was hell[00:02:53]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:02:59]
We drank a toast to now[00:03:02]
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness[00:03:07]
But neither one knew how[00:03:11]
We drank a toast to innocence[00:03:17]
We drank a toast to time[00:03:20]
Reliving in our eloquence[00:03:26]
Another auld lang syne[00:03:29]
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired[00:03:37]
And running out of things to say[00:03:42]
She gave a kiss to me as I got out[00:03:46]
And I watched her drive away[00:03:50]
Just for a moment I was back at school[00:03:55]
And felt that old familiar pain[00:04:00]
And as I turned to make my way back home[00:04:06]
The snow turned into rain[00:04:11]
