Fogelberg Dan Miscellaneous Same Auld Lang Syne Met my old lover in a grocery store The snow was falling Christmas Eve 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 Tried to hug me and she spilled her purse and we laughed until we cried Took her groceries to the checkout stand The food was totaled up and bagged stood there lost in our embarrassment as the conversation dragged Went to have ourselves a drink or two but couldn't find an open bar Bought a six-pack at the liquor store and we drank it in the car We drank a toast to innocence, we drank a toast to now Tried to reach beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how She said she'd married her an architect Kept her warm and safe and dry She said she'd like to say she loved the man but she didn't want 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 store 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 time We're living in our eloquence, another old lang syne The beers were empty and our tongues grew 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 in school And felt that old familiar pain And as I turned to make my way back home the snow turned into rain |
