She opened with how you been And I replied fine and how you doing With a seven year suicide With a neighbor and a married woman She looked at me kind of strange And she told me she'd soon be wed I wished I was someone else I wished I would soon be dead, from what she said Sail on but never sail away Dealt your cards, It's time to fold now Seems like just yesterday We were young as this mornings sun Heading North on the thruway When you realized you weren't going home Turned on the stereo
And they played your old wedding song Light another cigarette And denying just what went wrong, just what went wrong Sail on but never sail away Dealt your cards, It's time to fold now We lived in a single room when we were 17 We traded self-control, for white line insanity That's when I slammed the brakes That's when I crashed the car Remembering what we were And denying who we are Sail on but never sail away Dealt your cards, It's time to fold now
