00:17I met my own lover in the grocery store
00:22The snow was falling Christmas Eve
00:27I stole behind her in the frozen foods
00:31And I touched her on the sleeve
00:36She didn't recognize the face at first
00:40But then her eyes flew open wide
00:44She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
00:49And we laughed until we cried
01:11I took her groceries to the check-out stand
01:15The food was totaled up and bad
01:20We stood there lost in our embarrassment
01:24As the conversation drank
01:29Went to have ourselves a drink or two
01:33But couldn't find an open bar
01:38We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
01:42And we drank it in her car
01:47We drank her just new innocence
01:50We drank her just an hour
01:55And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
01:59But neither one knew how
02:04She said she married her in Arlington
02:09Kept her warm and safe and dry
02:14She would have liked to say she loved men
02:17But she didn't like to lie
02:22I said the years had been a friend to her
02:26And that her eyes were still just blue
02:31And in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
02:35Saw her doubt, her gratitude
02:40She said she saw me in the red red store
02:45And I must be doing well
02:49I said the audience was hell and me
02:53But the trial and me was hell
02:58We drank her just to innocence
03:01We drank her just an hour
03:06We drank her just an hour
03:10We drank her just an hour
03:10But neither one knew how
03:16We drank her just an hour
03:19We drank her just an hour
03:23We drank her just an hour
03:23We drank her just an hour
03:23We drank her just an hour
03:23We drank her just an hour
03:24We drank her just an hour
03:24We drank her just an hour
03:25We drank her just an hour
03:28We drank her just an hour
03:37The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
03:41And running out of things to say
03:46She gave a kiss to me as I got out
03:50And I watched her drive away
03:55Just for a moment I was back in school
04:00And felt that old familiar pain
04:07And as I turned to make my way back home
04:12The snow turned into rain
04:37The snow turned into rain
04:58Oh, my God.
