Sitting side by side, no words pass
As the windscreen’s battered by the rain
I still hear music echo in my mind
It was loud in there, too loud to think
But leaving while the party swung
Would look uncouth, I’d be seen as rude
I saw it though, so how could I stay
I ran with handbag held aloft
To shelter from the driving rain
You followed close behind, you had the keys
Confused and angry, embarrassed, you said
slamming the car door shut behind
I don’t have words for you and so we sit
In silent anger, remembering the look
That passed between the two of you
The two of you who hadn’t seen each other
Since your days at school
And now she wears the shapely dress
A red and flaming beacon
In amongst those faceless shapes
That danced across the floor
I knew that it could be the end
And so I ran because
It’s the only thing I know to do.
