Time 512

Met my old lover
In a grocery store

The snow was falling
Christmas Eve

I stole behind her
In the frozen foods

And I touched her
On the sleeve

She didn't recognize
The face at first

But then her eyes
Flew open wide

She went to hug me
And she spilled

Her purse

Instrumental

87654321

I took her groceries
To the checkout stand

As the conversation
Dragged

Wt!) went to have
Ourselves

A drink or two

And we drank it
In her car

We drank our toast
To innocence

We drank a toast
To now

And tried to reach
Beyond the emptiness

But neither one
Knew how

She said
She'd married her

An architect

And kept her warm
And safe

And dry

But she didn't
Like to lie

I said
The years had been

A friend to her

And that her eyes
Were still as blue

But in those eyes
I wasn't sure

If I saw doubt
Or gratitude

She said
She saw me in

The record store

And that I must
Be doing well

I said the audience
Was heavenly

But the travelling
Was hell

We drank our toast
To innocence

We drank a toast
To now

And tried to reach
Beyond the emptiness

But neither one
Knew how

We drank our toast
To innocence

We drank our toast
To time

But living in
Our eloquence

Another old lang syne

The beer was empty
And our tongues

Were tired

And running out of
Things to say

She gave a kiss to me
As I got out

And I watched her
Drive away

Just for a moment
I was back at school

And felt that old
Familiar pain

And as I turned
To make my way

Back home

The snow turned
Into rain...

Instrumental
