In the Next Life

With the freeze on
Same old cold breeze
All the leaves gone
From all your trees
Or do they still believe?

And if this seems long
Wait a while please
I didn't mean wrong
But it's being going on
Too long for you and me

[Chorus 1]
We don't need no alibis
We'll meet again in the next life

Forty years strong
Forty weak-kneed
In between songs
About what you want
And what you need

If I appear torn
Put it all on me
Now that you're gone
When you say, "Come on!"
What do you mean?

[Chorus 2]
We don't need to compromise
I'll see you then in the best light
Took some reason to realise
We'll meet again in the next life

Why you lookin' at me?
Can't you see what I wanna be about?
You and a bit about me
About what we forgot
And what we appear to be

I know it's hard to believe
But I made up my mind
And I hope you agree
That it's time to get what we need
After what we've been through
And all that we've seen
But then...

[Chorus 2]
We don't mean to compromise
I'll see you then in the best life
Took some reason to realise
We'll meet again in the next life

We'll meet again in the next life
We'll meet again in the next life
