With a garden by the sea
And a life that just gets more and more demanding
There's no doubt that you're the reason I'm still standing
Right now I can't quite remember
You'd take me for ten years and no more
And you could put a little more work in on me
Maybe you were joking when you said
I know that you don't want to be
The 'cause of all my tears
How I found you is beyond my understanding
My stunning mystery companion
My stunning mystery companion
Maybe, you're thinking of someplace
But you could take another ten years and be sure
Or live among the boxes
Where all my past lives have been stowed
My solitary nature notwithstanding
You're the one who pulled me out of that crash landing
Out here forever on this road
Maybe you've had the best of me
Where we could slow down
What with all my expectations long abandoned
I hear you laughing and somehow
What with all my expectations long abandoned
The past just disappears
