Met my old lover in the
   grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the
   frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the
   face at first
But then her eyes flew
   open wide
She went to hug me and she
   spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.
We took her groceries to the
   checkout stand
The food was totalled up and
   bagged
We stood the
'87 lyrics

Do you remember when the days gone by or is there no point for us to even try Back when we didn't have a care in the world, Getting drunk and chasing girls Do you remember the days gone past and how we always wanted t
re lost in our
   embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.
We went to have ourselves
   a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at
   the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.
We drank a toast to
   innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond
   the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
She said she'd married her
   an architect
Who kept her warm and safe

Slow Down lyrics


All of my answers and all my reasons 
And all my excuses they never asked
Cause all of my answers they keep on changing
I spend my life waiting for the next?

No, I just keep on moving

   loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a
   friend to her
And that her eyes were still
   as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't
   sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the
   record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was
   heavenly
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to
   innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond

Crown Of The Valley lyrics

we are the high street service trays
coming to take you away

with speed on your breakfast plate

they keep her calm and cool until he leaves

ss
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'...
The beer was empty and our
   tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was
   back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make
   my way back home
The snow turned into rain --
