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 the fire and rain 
Through the wilderness and pain 
Through the losses, through the gains 
On love's roller coaster train 
I call your name 

Oh God we used to laugh 
Is the fire dying, babe? 
It hurts to ask 
Let me hold you for awhile
