Intro: ----
-----
Met my old lover in a grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on her sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eye flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.
Interlude: (Do intro chords)
She took her groc'ries to the check-out stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find and open bar
Bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.
Refrain:
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
(2nd Verse Chords)
She said she married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And her eyes was still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
Saw a doubt of gratitude.
She said she saw in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the travelling was hell.
Refrain:
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to time.
Reliving in our eloquence
pause
Another "auld lang syne."
(2nd Verse Chords)
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 in school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
/G-
The snow turned into rain.
