She opened with how you been   And I replied fine and how you doing   With a seven year suicide   With a neighbor and a married woman      She looked at me kind of strange   And she told me she’d soon be wed   I wished I was someone else   I wished I would soon be dead, from what she said      Sail on but never sail away   Dealt your cards, It’s time to fold now      Seems like just yesterday   We were young as this mornings sun   Heading North on the thruway   When you realized you weren’t going home      Turned on the stereo   And they played your old wedding song   Light another cigarette   And denying just what went wrong, just what went wrong      Sail on but never sail away   Dealt your cards, It’s time to fold now      We lived in a single room when we were 17   We traded self-control, for white line insanity   That’s when I slammed the brakes   That’s when I crashed the car   Remembering what we were   And denying who we are      Sail on but never sail away   Dealt your cards, It’s time to fold now
