We got married on a cold mid-winter’s morning

We said our lines

Then kissed

And it was over



Those pronouncements had such weight

I guess they made us hesitate

Hesitate



When she moved her hips

And swayed in my direction

I thought we could make it yet

And beat the isolation



But in that gentle dark

Man, we tore ourselves apart



Through the fire and rain

Through the wilderness and pain

Through the losses, through the gains

On love’s roller coaster train

I call your name



Oh God ... we used to laugh

Is the fire dying, babe

It hurts to ask



Let my hold you for awhile
