[00:18.55]Met my old lover in the grocery store
[00:22.61]The snow was falling Christmas Eve
[00:27.06]I stole behind her in the frozen foods
[00:30.81]And I touched her on the sleeve
[00:36.12]She didn't recognize the face at first
[00:40.49]But then her eyes flew open wide
[00:45.11]She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
[00:48.68]And we laughed until we cried
[01:11.86]We took her groceries to the checkout stand
[01:15.99]The food was totalled up and bagged
[01:20.24]We stood there lost in our embarrassment
[01:23.93]As the conversation dragged
[01:29.18]We went to have ourselves a drink or two
[01:33.61]But couldn't find an open bar
[01:37.99]We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
[01:41.74]And we drank it in her car
[01:47.49]We drank a toast to innocence
[01:50.49]We drank a toast to now
[01:55.80]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
[01:59.31]But neither one knew how
[02:04.56]She said she'd married her an architect
[02:08.93]Who kept her warm and safe and dry
[02:13.37]She would have liked to say she loved the man
[02:16.99]But she didn't like to lie
[02:22.37]I said the years had been a friend to her
[02:26.93]And that her eyes were still as blue
[02:30.99]But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
[02:35.18]Doubt or gratitude
[02:39.87]She said she saw me in the record stores
[02:43.24]And that I must be doing well
[02:48.56]I said the audience was heavenly
[02:52.12]But the traveling was hell
[02:57.99]We drank a toast to innocence
[03:00.87]We drank a toast to now
[03:06.50]And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
[03:09.99]But neither one knew how
[03:15.18]We drank a toast to innocence
[03:18.31]We drank a toast to time
[03:24.11]Reliving in our eloquence
[03:27.43]Another 'auld lang syne'
[03:36.18]The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
[03:40.55]And running out of things to say
[03:44.87]She gave a kiss to me as I got out
[03:48.43]And I watched her drive away
[03:54.12]Just for a moment I was back at school
[03:56.81]And felt that old familiar pain
[04:06.37]And as I turned to make my way back home
[04:10.94]The snow turned into rain
