The Rush
Words & Music: Pat Drummond & Karen Lynne Frencham

Pat:
The first time that I saw you, you were standing in the rain.
You'd just got off the downtown bus.
Karen:
I spilled my packages across the kerbside lane
And you came across the street to pick them up.
(You were so sweet..)
Pat:
We went for coffee in that cafe in the mall
Karen:
I gave you my number but I didn't think you'd call.
Karen & Pat:
Two hearts beating in the crush, the morning traffic swept us up. Caught up in The Rush.

Pat: The first time that I held you, walked you to your door; The evening scattered starfire in your hair.
Karen: You said "Be careful now. You'll make your neighbours talk"
Pat: and you smiled at me and said you didn't care. Wine and firelight and laughter in the hall
Karen: until that moment when we could not speak at all.
Karen & Pat: Two hearts faltered in the hush, as the night rose over us. We were caught up in "the Rush".

Pat: You get the kids up and you iron another shirt. Sometimes these mornings seem so rushed.
Karen: You come to kiss me as you're going off to work. Oh, but our lips they barely touch.
Pat: God knows that I work hard, I pay the bills on time...
Karen: It isn't your fault, and I know it isn't mine...
Pat: There's time for everything it seems except for us...
Karen: And I still love you but sometimes that's not enough.
Pat: We're getting older both of us
Karen: but we still need each other's touch
Karen & Pat: When we're caught up in the rush ....
I still need to feel "The Rush".
