<bgsound src="Thats_the_way.mid" loop=infinite> Used To Be

It used to be easy to please you
what happened from then, I'm not so sure
we seek our comforts elsewhere
we can't find them where they were.

You go to sleep with the lights on
and I fall away on the sofa-bed
we are old and decayed like grandparents
tired and ready for dead.

What happened to you
you old scarlet sun
lost when the moon gave you rings
took your eyes by one.

You don't see me now
and I can't make another deposit
of my day into your heart
that smells like moth-balls in the closet.

You stubborn rock, you sit
like a statue, not lover or friend
worn out from the living when
it used to be easy to please you
what happened from then?
