We Should Have Met Sooner

We should have met sooner
Before the others came along
To scare you
Remind you
To tie you
With responsibilities
Before the wind was out of your hair
We should have met sooner
Before morgages and children
To hold you
And chain you
To smother you
With demands
Before the wind was out of your hair
We should have met sooner
And held off the world for a while
To have time only for each other
To escape the number days and nights
Before the sun was out of your eyes
Now we must be gypsies in the subways
Dreamers in the city park
Wanderers with only weekends
Lovers with one eye on the back
We should have met sooner
Before the sun was out of your eyes
Before the wind was out of your hair
