Past Lovers

I remember when it started
In the thunder storms and darkness
As we stood together, in a room
And waited for the night

And the silence gathered round us
Semi-naked in the darkness
And you put a finger to your lips
And said to me just this:

Let’s not talk about the other
Let’s not talk about past lovers
All the history you bring to me
Has melted like the snow

Let’s not talk about the other
Let’s not talk about past lovers
There are things you have inside of you
It’s better not to know

Now I’m sitting drunk at midnight
With the memories of my life
And I’m wondering what changes came
To make me feel so old

But before the sadness claims me
And before the darkness takes
My vague memory allows me
One last picture of your lips

As you say

Don’t talk about the others
And don’t talk about past lovers
It’s the silence that you bring to me
That’s the greatest thing of all

So don’t talk about the others
And don’t talk about past lovers
It’s the silence that you bring to me
That’s the greatest thing of all
