There’s a man returning to the desert
With his love in a paper cup
There´s a man who still was in the middle
When he found the game was up
There’s a man who tries to fix the fences
Some careless lady has torn down
And while the lady’s out for dances
He’s slowly rising from the ground
Tic tac toe
He loves her so
One two three
She has the key
There’s a man who changing his direction
Tired of the city and the rain
Into the silent desert darkness
Back to the land of sand and grain
There’s a man who’s looking for a new tune
With every note he’s further down the road
He can feel the isolation
He’s breaking free from heavy load
Tic tac toe
He loved her so
One two three
She lost the key
It’s not the play, it is the price they paid
It’s not the game, it is the way they played
Tic tac toe
He loved her so
One two three
Now she’s free
First we come, last we go
But it was love we’re here to know
