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 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
