Mama moved out
Daddy sold the house
They split up the money
And went on their way
And all the king's horses
and all the king's men
could never put mummy and daddy back together again
Starting Over Again
Where should they begin
'Cause they've never been out on their own
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
and the kids almost grown
And the whole world cries
He got an apartment
She moved in with her sisters
And he's scheming big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home
Sortin' out pieces
Of left over memories from thirty odd years
Starting Over again
Where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own
Starting Over Again
Never any end
What will the neighbours say
(Just) talkin' talk it's small town news
What will all the neighbours hear
They just know they disappeared
(They're) facing fifty years old wrecking up a happy home
And this far down the road
You find yourself alone
Two fools
Starting Over Again
Where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids almost grown
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Could never put mummy and daddy back together
Back together anymore.
