You no longer notice if I'm wearing perfume I seldom hear a loving word from you
Your attention's wrapped up in the morning paper And I feel a restless yearn for something new
We used to whisper love across the night time Now we're never whispered nor recalled
Our love is left upon the shelf of winter Where the sunlight never touches it at all
It's a habit for us to be together
We sit and watch the deadly shadows grow Every day last year I left for California
This is my year for Mexico
You're back
You're back
Your back is turned to me while you are reading I close my eyes while I pretend to doze
From the road I hear the sound of passing traffic Some of them are bound for Mexico
It's a habit for us to be together We sit and watch the deadly shadows grow
Every day last year I left for California This is my year for Mexico
It's a habit for us to be together We sit and watch the deadly shadows grow
