| Lovers Understand
|
| He loses himself in the boxscores
|
| She can’t decide what to wear
|
| There will be no realization today
|
| And she’ll carry out her affair
|
| She dreams frequent and vividly
|
| He has no dreams at all
|
| She describes them to him every mornin'
|
| As he complains about the mileage of his car
|
| They have no children to speak of
|
| And don’t own their colonial home
|
| The color tv lulls one of them to sleep
|
| While the other changes stations alone
|
| Hand in hand i lost her hand and cried the tears
|
| Lovers understand
|
| They could not afford a real honeymoon
|
| So they strolled hand in hand in the square
|
| She does the same with the guy at the office
|
| He likes the color of her hair
|
| He’s quiet and tired a lot lately
|
| He sets goals and doesn’t follow through
|
| He stares at her picture on the fireplace
|
| And whispers a prayer to the room
|
| «there are no mistakes,"he says, shrugging off,
|
| «we just did what we had to do
|
| I don’t think that i could get angry again
|
| At least not like i did in my youth
|
| Hand in hand i lost her hand and cried the tears
|
| Lovers understand.»
