About the Children |
The conversation pauses, while the waiter pours our tea |
This timely interruption is a great relief to me |
I wish he’d stay all day, I’d never have to say |
About the children |
You’re looking really lovely, and the dress is really you |
The necklace I remember, but the bracelet must be new |
But that’s another day, I clear my throat and say |
About the children |
Oh, they’ll be away at school, they’ll have the camps to go to |
And they’re much too young to know how hard it is to go through |
Ah, these were to be the years for us, making love in the afternoon |
No worries anymore |
About the children. |
The conversation’s civilised, we calmly nod our heads |
You’re smiling as you always do, but your napkin is in shreds |
You’d like to run away, oh, who’d be the first to say |
About the children |
Oh, they’ll be away at school, they’ll have the camps to go to |
And they’re much too young to know how hard it is to go through |
Ah, these were to be the years for us, making love in the afternoon |
No worries anymore |
About the children. |
The conversation’s civilised, we calmly nod our heads |
You’re smiling as you always do, but your napkin is in shreds |
You’d like to run away, oh, who’d be the first to say |
About the children |
