The Vacation Of Their Lives

歌詞

He snaps her photo in front of a waterfall She takes his in front of the car At night, they eat in strange resturants And drink in unfamiliar bars Though they're miles and miles away from home On the Vacation of Their Lives Both of 'em watch their marriage decline And dissolve right before their eyes They haven't spent so much time alone Since 1973 That's the year they drove up to Canada And gazed at the cold, cold sea Even then they were only too well aware Of something missing in their lives And now both of 'em watch their marriage decline And dissolve right before their eyes Oh it's his fault It's her fault It's his fault OK "I was wrong" he said Though never meaning it She scolds him He holds her in bed Out of habit That's all Oh he loves her He hates her She loves him She hates how he loves her And in the evening They pretend not to hear sounds of laughter from across the hall She smooths Ban do Solei on his back As he poses in the sun He tries to recall how it used to feel When she was the only one And they stare at the brightly colored sail boats And the seagulls in the sky But all they can see Is love slipping away And dissolving before their eyes Oh, it's her fault It's his fault It's her fault OK "I was wrong" she said Though never meaning it He scolds her She holds him in bed Out of habit That's all She loves him She hates him He loves her He hates how she's in love with him And in the evening They pretend not to hear sounds of love from across the hall He snaps her photo in front of a monument She snaps at him in the car Tonight they'll find some cheap restaurant And toast to the past in some bar Though they're miles and miles and away from home On the vacation of their lives Both of them watch their marriage decline And dissolve right before their eyes Oh there's nothing quite sad As the love that's gone bad Between Husbands and Wives Husbands and Wives Husbands and Wives
