We turned water into wine but that didn't last
|
We were the victims of our age
|
Now we live on different floors
|
And go our separate ways
|
And talk behind closed doors
|
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
|
It's such a shame but who's to blame
|
When two worlds drift apart
|
|
We used to sit around the fire
|
And whisper words the world outside would make no claim to hear
|
But now we talk an octave higher
|
In droning tones that don't relate at all to yester year
|
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
|
It's such a shame but who's to blame
|
When two worlds drift apart
|
|
Do you remember when we were seventeen
|
We took a boat out for an hour
|
But we preferred the greenery to the scenery of the sea
|
And tied up in some cosy cove
|
Till harbour lights appeared across the bay, remember....
|
|
Into love and out of mind
|
A poet claimed that loving you has only made me blind
|
But love is really crystal clear
|
It's only when you need someone the clouds will soon appear
|
We changed our world waiting for it all to end
|
It's such a shame but who's to blame
|
When two worlds drift apart
|
|
Do you remember when laughter was the cure
|
For all the hard times that we knew
|
But we forgot to feed the fire - let it all burn down
|
Warmth returns to cold and poison into pain
|
It's such a shame but who's to blame
|
When two worlds drift apart, remember.....
