     She was in the next room on the telephone                           In his head she may as well been a thousand miles away        Maybe, she thought, he would actually turn off the television                     Tonight                                                                         Maybe, he thought, she would enjoy being alone together                                                  Tonight                                               Soon, they both thought, soon...                                                     It might be high time to pack it all in and say goodbye                                  Or not it's been a long time and a long way                     Hard to leave it all behind hard to call it a day                   Like a poor investment with little or no returns                                   Can't help but comparing the shape of the ship                     To all the friends in likewise situations who seem to have            A better grip                                                                        Though it's impossible to judge another's happiness                                      By the smile they wear                                    Could be just a mask hiding                                                                                              A warehouse full of fear                                       She fretted about after hanging up the phone                 Going to have to make a decision soon                                                 Just not right now                                                        He surfed few more channels then turned off the TV                             Going to have to make a decision soon                                                 Just not right now                                                                    Tonight would be the night for attempting                             One last time to get it right                                                                                   Tonight
