Testi The Old Marriage Waltz - Kim Mitchell

The Old Marriage Waltz

Alone but together
In silence and tension
They talk without words
They can’t bear to mention
Their feelings are bitter
They just hear the wind
Their hopes lie in ashes
But they still pretend
She sits by the window
She looks out the door
He watches her hopelessly
Knowing the score
Where are they going
And how will it end
Can their love survive
Will it break or will it bend
The old marriage waltz
Lasts through the heartaches
Just dance very close
And let no-one cut in
The old marriage waltz
As we move to the music
Just give love and get love
Again and again
He sits there alone now
With ghosts of the past
While a new love begins
Is it real? Will it last?
She puts on her feathers
She goes out the door
She walks in the nightclub
The band starts once more
The old marriage waltz
It lasts through the heartaches
Just dance very close
And let no-one cut in
The old marriage waltz
As we move to the music
Just give love and get love
Again and again
Nothing feels right when love’s going wrong
Time passes by
The years have been kinder
She now looks into soft eyes
A gentle reminder
Her new love was true love
Her dreams were reborn
If he finds the key
His heart too will be warm
The old marriage waltz
The old marriage waltz
Lasts through the heartaches
The old marriage waltz
