"Old Haunts."
I heard the church bells ring
much like the day we got married
Reviving memories I'd buried
leaving me something to do....
So I went back to the threshold
where I'd carried you
into our house of love,
back when our love was new
I sat and gazed at the haven
where we'd dwelt awhile
blurred by the tears from my
remembering your eager smile....
Chorus
To begin a new life
as my beautiful wife
sharing the sweet delights
only true love ignites.
And I could picture each room
through time's most infinite gloom
that left a lonely Ex-Groom
wishing we'd turned out right....
Cause I was back in town
just kind of cruising around
down all our old memory lanes
and as I passed the courthouse
I could still hear that gavel
pounding out my long lost pain....
When the judges decree
took you away from me.
Stealing all of the dreams
I'd ever hoped to see
again I saw your face
as sad as it could be
when you walked
away from me
in a long, black dress
on that mournful day
facing what was left
with no eagerness...
Chorus-
To become my ex-wife
for the rest of my life
spending my days and nights
in that lonely plight
only divorce can ignite.
And I could picture one buffoon
through times infinite gloom
a lonely Ex-Groom
still wishing.......
we had turned out right....
Then I headed out
on the road again
putting the pedal to the metal
fleeing our way back whens...
To join all the lanes
filled up with lonely men
facing roads that couldn't
ever take them back again,
except to their dead ends......
except to their dead ends......
