My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark
The living room is still
I walk by no remark
I tiptoe past the master everywhere
My mother reads her magazines
I recall sweet dreams
But I forget how to dream
But you say it's time we moved in together
Raised a family of our own you and me
Well that's the way I always
Heard it should be you want to marry me
We'll marry
My friends from college they're all married now
They have their houses and their lives
They have their silent news
Tearful nights angry dawn
Their children hate them for the things they not
They hate themselves for what they are
And yet they drink they laugh
Close the wound hide the scar
But you say it's time we moved in together
Raised a family of our own you and me
Well that's the way I always
Heard it should be you want to marry me we'll marry
You say that we can keep our love alive babe
All I know is what I see
The couples cling and claw and drown in love's debris
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
I'll never learn to be just me first by myself
Well okay it's time we moved in together
And raise the family of our own you and me
Well that's the way I always
Heard it should be you want to marry me
