She slips him a note, he shows her his teethShe zips up her coat, he goes to the streetsHe gets on the bus, finds an empty seatHe reads in a rush as it begins to sleetAnd it says, "Darling, darling, what, oh, what have we done?Who, oh, who have we become?Where did we go wrong?You treat me fine, but you make me cry til I can't breathe.And if it weren't for this kid, I would probably leave."He wakes up at 6, she's still asleepAnd he builds a fireThe rain falls in sheetsHe stares at the clock, the carpool's lateWe should leave here at 7 to get there by 8He turns on the TV as he picks up the phoneThe first thing he sees is a man weeping aloneCrying, "Jesus, Jesus, savior, what have we done?Who, oh, who have we become?Where did we go wrong?You treat me fine, but you make me cry til I can't breathe.And if it weren't for her, I would probably leave."She's 71, he's 73And they rent a house down by the seaSongtexteShe drops him off and he makes some cashHe takes a cab home, finds her on her backStaring at the fan, breath stuck in her throatShe takes his hand and she slips in a noteAnd it says, "Why, oh, why do we come so fast and then disappear?Where, oh, where do we go after that, after here?No, I know that this is not for me to see.When I go promise that you'll follow me."
