We still sit at separate tables

Hasn't helped to change our minds

Of a love burned out by silence

In a marriage minus heart
[Chorus 1]

And I call the kids on the telephone

Say there's something wrong out here

It's July but it's cold as Christmas

In the middle of the year

To this Caribbean surf

But there's an icy fringe on everything
C G
And I cannot find the lines

Where's the beauty in the beast we made

Why the frost in the summertime
[Chorus 2]
