Always Till Now

I met him at the laundromat
He flashed me a smile
We sorted out our dirty laundry and talked for a while
We put the money in and watched our clothing spin
I kissed him by the folding counter
Then we both agreed we would always be

Always
Always till now

We got a little place by the Golden Gate
Small but bright
He wrote his poems and I wrote my songs
But sometimes we'd fight
He was an order freak
I wasn't very neat
But we loved to do our laundry
It was clear to me that we would always be

Always
Always till now
Always till now
Always till now
Always till now

Call it destiny or fate
Call it love or call it hate
I met him at the laundromat
And that was that
Together forever

He went wandering, gone without a trace
Left me wondering is his hair in the same place?
Lalala, lalala, lalala la la
Are his clothes still wrinkled?
Are his brows still knit?
Are his words still sprinkled with his cold wit?

So he stayed home, worked on his poems
Money was tight
I joined a band, doing one-night stands
Famous overnight
I was always gone, he was left alone
To do his dirty laundry
Yet, still I dreamed
Yes, still it seemed

Always
Always till now
Always till now
Always till now
Always till now

Call it speed of light or time
I was his and he was mine
Call it gold or call it dust
The curve of love surrounded us
I met him at the laundromat
And that was that
I met him at a laundromat
And that was that
Together forever
Till now
