[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:18.55]Met my old lover in the grocery store [00:22.61]The snow was falling Christmas Eve [00:27.06]I stole behind her in the frozen foods [00:30.81]And I touched her on the sleeve [00:36.12]She didn't recognize the face at first [00:40.49]But then her eyes flew open wide [00:45.11]She went to hug me and she spilled her purse [00:48.68]And we laughed until we cried [01:11.86]We took her groceries to the checkout stand [01:15.99]The food was totalled up and bagged [01:20.24]We stood there lost in our embarrassment [01:23.93]As the conversation dragged [01:29.18]We went to have ourselves a drink or two [01:33.61]But couldn't find an open bar [01:37.99]We bought a six-pack at the liquor store [01:41.74]And we drank it in her car [01:47.49]We drank a toast to innocence [01:50.49]We drank a toast to now [01:55.80]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness [01:59.31]But neither one knew how [02:04.56]She said she'd married her an architect [02:08.93]Who kept her warm and safe and dry [02:13.37]She would have liked to say she loved the man [02:16.99]But she didn't like to lie [02:22.37]I said the years had been a friend to her [02:26.93]And that her eyes were still as blue [02:30.99]But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw [02:35.18]Doubt or gratitude [02:39.87]She said she saw me in the record stores [02:43.24]And that I must be doing well [02:48.56]I said the audience was heavenly [02:52.12]But the traveling was hell [02:57.99]We drank a toast to innocence [03:00.87]We drank a toast to now [03:06.50]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness [03:09.99]But neither one knew how [03:15.18]We drank a toast to innocence [03:18.31]We drank a toast to time [03:24.11]Reliving in our eloquence [03:27.43]Another 'auld lang syne' [03:36.18]The beer was empty and our tongues were tired [03:40.55]And running out of things to say [03:44.87]She gave a kiss to me as I got out [03:48.43]And I watched her drive away [03:54.12]Just for a moment I was back at school [03:56.81]And felt that old familiar pain  [04:06.37]And as I turned to make my way back home [04:10.94]The snow turned into rain
