Officially Still Married

No love between them though they live together for nowadays each of them does their own thing
She dances in the Bowling Club room with her lover and at the pub with his mates he does sing
In their early fifties and officially still married but love between them it would seem long dead
Under the one roof but not as mates and lovers for many years they have not shared a bed.

Their thirty year old son has a seven year old daughter but he's not one to play the father's part
His daughter born from a fling of passion and not conceived from an affair of the heart
He lives in London that's all they know of him they lost contact with him six years ago
And their grandchild they never have lain their eyes on and of her whereabouts they would not know.

She has her lover and he has his pub mates and though they are still legally man and wife
And they are still living under the same roof they do share very little else in life
No longer good friends though on speaking terms in different company now they socialize
As man and wife they live under the one roof but from a different bed at morn they rise.

At the Bowling Club she dances with her lover and to slow tunes they waltz cheek to cheek
Whilst her husband is drinking with his mates he is in the pub every night of the week
Together they had many nights of passion but that does now seem in the distant past
Love for awhile between them brightly blossomed but few things in life do ever seem to last.
