Private Lives - Penelope Nichols

    At the end of our private lives
    we're having a smoke
    sipping coffee, talking through the night
    trying out old jokes
    pretending we're just friends
    at the end of our private life

    You've got a brand new place in town
    stuff is still in piles
    I'm sure you'll collect new furniture
    after living there awhile
    then maybe you'll smile
    about the end of our private life

    I can hear your mind ticking away
    behind that funny mouth
    I feel your spirit fly shimmering
    behind those laughing eyes
    a little boy cries

    Love me, love me, ooh, love me
    at the end of our private life

    With morning comes the cold reality
    of a world we've changed too fast
    we're living the first fatality
    of a love we thought would last
    we're learning to act
    at the end of our private life
