Twenty nine's too young to be divorced she said
With her hands clutching her head rocking back and forth
Her body starts to shiver in her voice there is a quiver
And I knew that there was nothing I could say
So I walk away
He pours rum into his beer just to make it clear
That he's here to get the job done quickly
In his rolling blackouts I want to scream and shout
But I just cant find the words to say
So I walk away
When they were young and new there was nothing they couldn't do
The world was his and hers and theirs for the taking
Now they sleep in separate rooms each locked in their own tombs
Always searching but asking the wrong questions
Is this what it's like to get old?
Nothing seems to stay gold
When this house burns down, in the ashes I will drown
Or I'll live to fight another day if I walk away
Nothings working out the way we planned she said
And he knew their love was dead before she reached the door
And walked away
