[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:18.62]Met my old lover in the grocery store [00:22.80]The snow was falling Christmas Eve [00:27.30]I stole behind her in the frozen foods [00:31.17]And I touched her on the sleeve [00:36.43]She didn't recognize the face at first [00:40.87]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 [01:12.35]We took her groceries to the checkout stand [01:17.09]The food was totalled up and bagged [01:21.09]We stood there lost in our embarrassment [01:24.78]As the conversation dragged [01:29.91]We went to have ourselves a drink or two [01:34.53]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 [01:48.59]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 [02:14.34]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 [02:41.09]She said she saw me in the record stores [02:45.47]And that I must be doing well [02:49.97]I said the audience was heavenly [02:53.60]But the traveling was hell [02:59.39]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 [03:11.25]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 [03:28.94]Another 'auld lang syne' [03:37.89]The beer was empty and our tongues were tired [03:42.13]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 [03:55.83]Just for a moment I was back at school [04:01.39]And felt that old familiar pain  [04:08.03]And as I turned to make my way back home [04:12.83]The snow turned into rain
