The Couple Across The Way

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

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

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

The world has changed beyond our doorstep

People talk and dress so strange

I don't know a neighbour's name

And all of life is rearranged

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

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
