Tell It Back to Me

When I met you I was through with some business I had to do,

Business of a strange kind.

I taught English, you were French, we kissed on a bench

Your world so different to mine

Tell me what you see

Tell it back to me

I was corporate, you were folk, our differences we though a joke

One that got funnier over time

We thought of marriage, we thought of kids, we knew a marriage on the skids

Because of the kids.

What do you see in the distance?

What do you see through the walls?

New love is old love is good love

We see it all.

When we parted it soon started an emptiness in her and me

The finer things weren't so fine

We met again through a friend who told us to start again

To try, try again.
