MUSIC FOR SALE

We thought we had it all
The house the kids the car
But we somehow lost each other
This busy life pulled us apart
Now we live in polite silence
As we play man and wife
No words no touch no goodnight kiss
Can cross the great divide
----------------------

It seems nothing lasts forever
Though we told the priest it would
Too scared to talk about it
In case it breaks us up for good
So we only do what must be done
To prolong our broken lives
No longing looks, no hand to reach
Across the great divide
-------------------------

I'm trying hard to not give up
And that tears me up inside
Did I do too much or not enough?
I lay awake and wonder why
There was no infidelity
No arguments, no lies
Just a slow silent estrangement
That became the great divide.
-----------------------

When I'm brave and try to hold you
You turn your back on me
Does that mean you're tired and want to sleep
Or tired of me and want to leave?
If we don't talk there'll be no future
If we don't touch because of pride
Then we can never build a bridge
Across our great divide.
------------------------
There was no infidelity
No arguments, no lies
Just a slow silent estrangement
That became the great divide.
