Lyrics
and running out of things to say
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired, she said she saw me in the record stores
but she didn t like to lie
as the conversation dragged
and running out of things to say
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse, and we drank it in her car, we drank a toast to now
i said the audience was heavenly
But then her eyes flew open wide, she said she d married her an architect, and we laughed until we cried
Just for a moment i was back at school, but then her eyes flew open wide, and we drank it in her car
Went to have ourselves a drink or two, and tried to reach beyond the emptiness, we drank a toast to innocence
Another auld lang syne, and tried to reach beyond the emptiness
We stood there lost in our embarrassment, she would have liked to say she loved the man
and that her eyes were still as blue
I stole behind her in the frozen foods, and i watched her drive away, and running out of things to say
but then her eyes flew open wide
We drank a toast to innocence, and as i turned to make my way back home
And that i must be doing well, and as i turned to make my way back home
reliving in our eloquence
we drank a toast to now
She said she saw me in the record stores, we took her groceries to the checkout stand Lang, who kept her warm and safe and dry
And felt that old familiar pain, and we laughed until we cried
The food was totaled up and bagged, we stood there lost in our embarrassment, we took her groceries to the checkout stand
we drank a toast to innocence
We took her groceries to the checkout stand, saw doubt or gratitude Same, she would have liked to say she loved the man
And we drank it in her car, we drank a toast to time Dan, met my old lover in the grocery store
we drank a toast to time
We drank a toast to innocence, and tried to reach beyond the emptiness, and i watched her drive away
she gave a kiss to me as i got out
And i touched her on the sleeve, she went to hug me and she spilled her purse
the snow turned into rain
we bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And as i turned to make my way back home, but the traveling was hell
We drank a toast to now, we drank a toast to now
