Met my old lover in a grocery store
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
She didn't recognize the face at first
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
We drank a toast to innocence
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
She said she'd married her an architect
She would have liked to say she loved the man
I said the years had been a friend to her
But in those eyes I wasn't sure
She said she saw me in the record stores
I said the audience was heavenly
We drank a toast to innocence
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
We drank a toast to innocence
Reliving in our eloquence
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
Just for a moment I was back at school
And as I turned to make my way back home
