Same Old Lang Syne Medley
Met my old lover in the grocery storeThe snow was falling Christmas EveI stood behind her in the frozen foodsAnd I touched her on the sleeve She didn't recognize the face at firstBut then her eyes flew open wideShe went to hug me and she spilled her purse And we laughed until we cried We took her groceries to the check out standThe food was totaled up and baggedWe stood there lost in our embarrassmentAs the conversation lagged We went to have ourselves a drink or twoBut couldn't find an open barWe bought a six-pack at the liquor store And we drank it in her car We drank a toast to innocenceWe drank a toast to nowWe tried to reach beyond the emptinessBut neither one knew how She said she's married her an architectSongtexteWho kept her warm and safe and dryShe would have liked to say she loved the manBut she didn't like to lie I said the years had been a friend to herAnd that her eyes were still as blueBut in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw Doubt or gratitude She said she saw me in the record storesAnd that I must be doing wellI said the audience was heavenlyBut the traveling was Hell We drank a toast to innocenceWe drank a toast to nowWe tried to reach beyond the emptinessBut neither one knew how We drank a toast to innocenceWe drank a toast to timeReliving, in our eloquenceAnother "Auld Lang Syne" The beer was empty and our tongues were tiredAnd running out of things to sayShe gave a kiss to me as I got outAnd I watched her drive away Just for a moment I was back at schoolAnd felt that old familiar painAnd, as I turned to make my way back homeThe snow turned into rain Aus Songtexte Mania
