It would be good if I could control the situation
And it is beyond my control
I don't know how hard it is to think of you like that
It's not like I can make my feelings void
And think you were not my husband
My husband

Have you ever waited for someone
35 years and now
High, high hopes are shattered somehow
Crushed by all my love

And how many times will you come to me in my dreams at night?
Au revoir, comin' at me from my own back door
How many times will you come to me in my dreams at night?
Au revoir, comin' at me from my own back door

Where would we be without this time apart?
Would my trust be broken? Would we start again?
And I ask myself, when were you really 100% with me?
Our two hearts burned a hole
Gold down and swallowed it whole

Have you ever waited for someone
35 years and now
High, high hopes are shattered somehow
Crushed by all my love
How many times will you come to me in my dreams at night?
Au revoir, comin' at me from my own back door
How many times will you come to me in my dreams at night?
Au revoir, comin' at me from my own back door

So I go back to the drawing board
Erase all the parts, replace them with chalk
That can wash away if I need them to
Nothing is permanent
My husband
My husband
My husband
My husband
