Kiss Chase

Tiny children on their own

They learn so fast

How to make new friends

How to play their new games

I remember a man, he had shiny hair

Always hanging around when you went away

Little eight-year-old

She knows too many secrets

Much too young to understand what it means

I remember a woman with silver hair

And the smell and the taste of the bed we shared

And that's how I behaved every time that you went away

And now, though I'm older, nothing's changed

(Playing the same games)

And I knew every day came a chance that you'd leave me

So I found what I could to take your place

Told me not to cry

Said that I'd survive

As he waved goodbye

And I want to try

Not to make you cry

Want us to survive

Never say goodbye

But that's how I behave when you go away

Because, though I'm older, nothing's changed

(Playing the same games)

And I know every day there's a chance that you'll leave me

So I find what I can to take your place
