The Couple Across the Way
[Verse 1]
Babe, it feels like it's all happened
Twenty-three years of the same
And I'm sorry 'bout this morning
For the damage I will pay
[Verse 2]
All the mirrors face the walls and
I wake just to long for bed
Love what's got you so down low?
The saddest tongue is in your head
[Verse 3]
I forget the thrill of lies
The truth escaping through the eyes, now
You use voices on the phone
That once were spent on me
[Verse 4]
The world has changed beyond our doorstep
Peoplе talk and dress so strange
I don't know a neighbour's namе
And all of life is rearranged
[Verse 5]
Nice to know that you're still caring
Well enough to raise your voice
But if we must bring up the past then
Please don't speak to me of choice
[Verse 6]
Across the way moved in a pair
With passion in its prime
Maybe they look through to us
And hope that's them in time
