We'll talk the talk that never ends On a street that drives you around the bend We'll drink a drink to fallen friends And hope and pray we'll do better My aching body slides into bed To plead with the nightmare to end To build me a home that won't let in the rain Where I'll never he sad again So you greet me with tight lips Cheek to check hip to hip Words glide off my tongue and through my fingertips And I hope and pray we'll do better The dust settles on their front yard Ad they drive away in separate cars The years have not been kind We've know all along Yes we've known all this time We say a love such as ours But then years down the line We want to control what we can barely define And I hope and pray we'll do better
