"Mercy!"

Some things I know...
1. Split shifts really do suck.
2. Getting behind, uggg
3. Grumpy people really are lame.

So I thought I would post the lyrics to my favorite song. "Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg. Here's to finding the love of your life! Sing it Dan.

Met my old lover in a grocery store
the snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
and I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize my face at first
but then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
and we laughed until we cried

We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in embarrasment
as the conversation dragged
We went to have a drink or two
but we couldn't find an open bar
We bought a 6-pack at the liquor store
and we drank it in her car

Chorus:
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
but neither one knew how

She said she married her an architect
that kept her warm and safe and dry
She would like to have said she loved the man
but she didn't like the life

I said the years had been a friend to her
and that her eyes was still as blue
In those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record store
and that I must be doing well
I said the audience was helping me
but the travelling was hell

Chorus
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another auld lang syne

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
and running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
and I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back in school
and felt that old familiar pain
and as I turned to make my way back home
the snow turned into rain
