I look and I see
A retread
A retread
Together
Apart
I see a man and woman
Who no longer speak
Together
Left and right
To and fro
They know the steps
And they take them
His move is hers
And hers his
He loves the dance
She not so much
Yet
To and fro
She steps
The years go by
And then one day
She steps away
And he must stop
One foot on the ground
One foot up
I’ve seen this before
I know the tune
I know all ends well
That ends
But the two small eyes
See all
And take their first steps
Anyway
And this is all that is new
