And as I turned to meet my lady home
The snow turned into rain.
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain.
Another home lightens up
Another auld lang syne
As the condensation dragged
As the conversation dragged
But the gravity was here
or
But the gravity was hell
But the traveling was hell
I said the audience was hell to me
But the trial was being held.
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.
I said the audience was helping me
but the sales, they would tell
I thought the audience was heavenly
but the traveling was hell.
Editor's note: "hell" is not an obscenity. However, many people consider it offensive in many cases, but it is not profane and hence does not need to be censored with astericks.
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her honestly
I stood behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
I thought the Army, it was hell on me
But the traveling was hell
I thought the audience was heavenly
But the traveling, it was hell.
I thought the audience was hell on me
But the traveling was hell
I thought the audience was heavenly
But the traveling, it was hell.
I thought the audience was hell to me
But the traveling was hell.
I thought the audience was heavenly
But the traveling, it was hell.
I thought the audience was helping me,
but the traveling it was hell
I thought the audience was heavenly
but the traveling it was hell
I thought the audience was helping me
But the traveling, it was hell
I thought the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell
In those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw an ounce of gratitude.
In those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw doubt or gratitude.
It snowed behind her in the frozen foods.
I stole behind her in the frozen foods.
It snowed behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her honestly.
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on her sleeve.
Just for a moment I went back and stood
Just for a moment I was back in school
She didn't like to say she loved the man
She would've liked to say she loved the man
She said she'd married her an army gent
Kept her warm and safe and dry.
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry.
She said she'd married her an army tent
It kept her warm and safe and dry
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She said she'd married her an army tent
Kept her warm and safe and dry
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
We drag our toes to innocence
We drag our toes to now
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We drank a toast an hour
We drank a toast to now
We went to get ourselves a thing or two
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
