The Old Marriage Waltz - Kim Mitchell

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
