《Same Old Lang Syne》歌词

[00:00:18] Met my old lover in the grocery store

[00:00:22] The snow was falling Christmas Eve

[00:00:27] I stole behind her in the frozen foods

[00:00:31] And I touched her on the sleeve

[00:00:36] She didn't recognize the face at first

[00:00:40] But then her eyes flew open wide

[00:00:45] She went to hug me and she spilled her purse

[00:00:49] And we laughed until we cried

[00:01:12] We took her groceries to the checkout stand

[00:01:17] The food was totalled up and bagged

[00:01:21] We stood there lost in our embarrassment

[00:01:24] As the conversation dragged

[00:01:29] We went to have ourselves a drink or two

[00:01:34] But couldn't find an open bar

[00:01:39] We bought a six-pack at the liquor store

[00:01:42] And we drank it in her car

[00:01:48] We drank a toast to innocence

[00:01:51] We drank a toast to now

[00:01:56] And tried to reach beyond the emptiness

[00:02:00] But neither one knew how

[00:02:05] She said she'd married her an architect

[00:02:09] Who kept her warm and safe and dry

[00:02:14] She would have liked to say she loved the man

[00:02:17] But she didn't like to lie

[00:02:23] I said the years had been a friend to her

[00:02:27] And that her eyes were still as blue

[00:02:32] But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw

[00:02:36] Doubt or gratitude

[00:02:41] She said she saw me in the record stores

[00:02:45] And that I must be doing well

[00:02:49] I said the audience was heavenly

[00:02:53] But the traveling was hell

[00:02:59] We drank a toast to innocence

[00:03:02] We drank a toast to now

[00:03:07] And tried to reach beyond the emptiness

[00:03:11] But neither one knew how

[00:03:16] We drank a toast to innocence

[00:03:19] We drank a toast to time

[00:03:25] Reliving in our eloquence

[00:03:28] Another 'auld lang syne'

[00:03:37] The beer was empty and our tongues were tired

[00:03:42] And running out of things to say

[00:03:46] She gave a kiss to me as I got out

[00:03:50] And I watched her drive away

[00:03:55] Just for a moment I was back at school

[00:04:01] And felt that old familiar pain

[00:04:08] And as I turned to make my way back home

[00:04:12] The snow turned into rain
