Lyrics

I traced your arms as you lay spread out on the Sunday paper
It looked like the crime scene of an angel ghost
I heard the gate clatter to on the elevator
I wrapped myself up in it like a cold beef roast
I fell asleep, was cooked medium
Placed on a dining room table in Brooklyn
Before an older couple surrounded by
Family and friends so wonderful and kind
I flashed back to you giving dollars
To homeless men down in the Bowery
Not before they convinced you it was for sandwiches and not for wine
I just could never convince you, baby
This was our time
This was our time
This was our time
Now you're feeding me fabulous Chinese
Takeout on the dampened bedsheets
Our last supper so you might say
I woke up in a cold sweat and realized
We'd never cooked one meal together
You always said why bother with the cuisines
Of the world laid at our feet here every day
And I thought of our first date back in Nashville
We shared the pu pu platter
You enjoyed it with such gusto I took it for a sign
We would have many happy meals together in a
Warm dining room somewhere, maybe even Brooklyn
That was way back then and I was just
Another guy with food on his mind
But this
Baby, this was our time
This was our time
This was our time
This was our time
What did you have in mind?
This was our time
