We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning 
We said our lines 
Then kissed 
And it was over 
 
Those pronouncements had such weight 
I guess they made us hesitate 
Hesitate 
 
When she moved her hips 
And swayed in my direction 
I thought we could make it yet 
And beat the isolation 
 
But in that gentle dark 
Man, we tore ourselves apart 
 
Through fire and rain 
Through wilderness and pain 
Through the losses, through the gains 
On love's roller coaster train 
I call your name 
 
...We used to laugh 
Is the fire dying, babe 
It hurts to ask 
 
Let me hold you for awhile.
