I stole behind her in the frozen foods

She didn't recognize the face at first

But then her eyes flew open wide

She went to hug me and she spilled her purse

And we laughed until we cried

As the conversation dragged

And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence

She would have liked to say she loved the man

I said the years had been a friend to her

And that her eyes were still as blue

If I saw doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record stores

And that I must be doing well

Reliving in our eloquence

Another 'Auld Lang Syne'

另一首驪歌（美好的昔日情景）...

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired

啤酒喝完了，唇舌也累了

And running out of things to say

也沒什麼話題可聊了

She gave a kiss to me as I got out

And I watched her drive away

Just for a moment I was back at school

And felt that old familiar pain

And as I turned to make my way back home

The snow turned into rain

雪，竟轉變成了雨.....
