lyrics

8. Alternating Paragraphs
From rooms halfway around the world.
Two people met in writing
As seasons passed a boy and girl.
Grew closer as they were typing.

Alternating paragraphs
Sometimes in different colours.
The two became the best of friends.
Like a sister, like a brother.

chorus
But 15 days in 15 years
Is all they shared face to face
But friendship does not know the time.
And cares not for the place.

They arranged to meet first time in London
They met at her hotel,
Each was just as the other imagined.
They'd done their homework well.

As time went on they wrote some songs.
They met every few years.
Resumed from their last paragraph.
Shared laughter and some tears.

chorus

bridge
One night in his darkest hour.
His thoughts were just a blur.
Then as by some magic power,
The phone rang and it was her.

Years went by and lives grew busy,
Their writing slowly stopped.
Turned to hasty birthday greetings.
Unaware of what they'd lost.

One lonely night he wrote to her,
She replied with much to say,
And alternating paragraphs
Continue to this day.
