about

This was vaguely written about a woman I met on a dating site and went for coffee with a couple of times. We had a lot in common. That is, we were so similar that we had absolutely zero chemistry and nothing to talk about. If someone told me that I had a long lost twin I'd say, "I think I met her."

lyrics

There's no romance
Left in our lives
It's all been eaten
By widowed wives

I could write a poem
I could write this song
But the rhymes, you'd know 'em
They've been around too long

Since the first boy
Met the first girl
In the olden days
In the olden world

And he compared her eyes
To moonlight in the water
On a windless night
And that's how he got her

I could write a poem
I could write this song
But the rhymes, you'd know 'em
They've been around too long

I could play this tune
Outside your door
With a mariachi band
But it's been done before

Since the first boy
Met the third girl
In the olden days
In the olden world

He compared her lips
To a sunset sky
Like clouds full and red
And then she said goodbye

I could write a poem
I could write this song
But the rhymes, you'd know 'em
They've been around too long

There's no romance
Left in our lives
It's all been eaten
By widowed wives

I could be a poet
I could write this song
But you'd never know it
Because you'd be long gone

You'd be long gone...
