I am coming back to get you

I am coming back to get you
I knew you were waiting for me
And I knew we couldn’t
Do without each other for long.
I am coming back to get you
Well you see, I haven’t changed much
And I see that you, at your end,
Have held up through the test of time.
 
We were fighting a war with each other
We were both pillaged, robbed and destroyed
Who won, who lost,
We know nothing of it, we don’t know anymore.
We find each other empty-handed
But after war
We are left to make peace.
 
I am coming back to get you
Trembling like a young bride.
But richer than in the days past
In tenderness and in tears and in time.
I am coming back to get you
I look stupid in this lobby.
 
Help me and come kiss me
There is a taxi out there waiting.
 
We were fighting a war with each other
We were both pillaged, robbed and destroyed
Who won, who lost
We know nothing of it, we don’t know anymore.
We find each other empty-handed
But after war
We are left to make peace.
