[00:18.62]Met my old lover in the grocery store,
[00:22.81]The snow was falling Christmas Eve.
[00:27.31]I stole behind her in the frozen foods,
[00:31.18]And I touched her on the sleeve.
[00:36.43]She didn't recognize the face at first,
[00:40.88]But then her eyes flew open wide.
[00:45.38]She went to hug me and she spilled her purse,
[00:49.29]And we laughed until we cried.
[01:12.36]We took her groceries to the checkout stand,
[01:17.10]The food was totalled up and bagged.
[01:21.10]We stood there lost in our embarrassment,
[01:24.79]As the conversation dragged.
[01:29.92]We went to have ourselves a drink or two,
[01:34.54]But couldn't find an open bar.
[01:39.04]We bought a six-pack at the liquor store,
[01:42.54]And we drank it in her car.
[01:48.60]We drank a toast to innocence,
[01:51.29]We drank a toast to now.
[01:56.85]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
[02:00.60]But neither one knew how.
[02:05.47]She said she'd married her an architect,
[02:09.85]Who kept her warm and safe and dry,
[02:14.35]She would have liked to say she loved the man,
[02:17.85]But she didn't like to lie.
[02:23.41]I said the years had been a friend to her,
[02:27.79]And that her eyes were still as blue.
[02:32.10]But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw,
[02:36.35]Doubt or gratitude.
[02:41.10]She said she saw me in the record stores,
[02:45.48]And that I must be doing well.
[02:49.98]I said the audience was heavenly,
[02:53.60]But the traveling was hell.
[02:59.40]We drank a toast to innocence,
[03:02.27]We drank a toast to now.
[03:07.89]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness,
[03:11.26]But neither one knew how.
[03:16.95]We drank a toast to innocence,
[03:19.88]We drank a toast to time.
[03:25.70]Reliving in our eloquence,
[03:28.95]Another 'auld lang syne'......
[03:37.89]The beer was empty and our tongues were tired,
[03:42.14]And running out of things to say.
[03:46.53]She gave a kiss to me as I got out,
[03:50.40]And I watched her drive away.
[03:55.84]Just for a moment I was back at school,
[04:01.40]And felt that old familiar pain .........
[04:08.03]And as I turned to make my way back home,
[04:12.84]The snow turned into rain ..............
