Dinner for Two

By the time the guests arrive

Ooh, already it was dark outside

Tables set with china dishes

We're welcomed in with tiny kisses

What's her name, I don't remember

Isn't that the famous author

Harry's gonna get some appetizers

Well, he's keeping out of range of small arms fire

Dina has a phone, she says it's working

Now she's crawling on the floor,

Across the kitchen

Something I should tell you

But we are never alone

Tanks outside the bedroom window

We'll be okay with the curtain closed

The guests are fine behind the sofa

It's much too late, they should not go home

Something I should tell you

But we are never alone

Up by dawn, already morning

I ask myself what is going on

Some tender words and sidelong glances

Are you okay, have you lived here long?

Underneath the stairway

Somebody's changing her clothes

Sweaters and a t-shirt

Silk dresses cover the floor

Sit down by my side, take my overcoat

When will we get out, maybe we will soon

Some of us losing it, some of us breaking down

Some of us speaking out, used to it now

Something I should tell you

But we are never alone

There's something I should tell you

And I've been waiting so long

When it's over with going our separate ways

How about you and me? Dinner for two
