lyrics

She saw him first – that so familiar face
He was leaning back against the bar and laughing
with a friend
And after all this time her heart began to race
So many years, and so much living
But she's right back in another time and place

When she saw him first
And he turned and saw her looking, and she didn't
look away
And he walked right up and just said: Do your worst
What more to say – they blew a bubble
And then the bubble burst

Now here they are: it's come to this
Would you believe that it could come to this?
But it comes to this: it comes to this

Now she glances up again
And something in his manner makes her sure he's seen
her too
But after all that joy and all that pain
What is the point of awkward smalltalk
God – how are you?' 'Oh well, I can't complain …'

And so let's just let it go
Let's just sit and drink a silent toast to that old ghost
You and I just drank each other dry
So no pretence and no regret
If you want, forgive, forget
But we've already said our last goodbye

What is the point of mere politeness?
And what's the point of trying to explain?

So there she goes: it's come to this
Would you believe that it could come to this?
But it comes to this: it comes to this
