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
