lyrics

Your love created me it wasn't meant for only two
You'd loved and lost and weighed the costs of raising someone new
your dreams of romance didn't work out, but is that such a crime?
Now we're doing fine

Divorce was wise, why despise the one who gave a color to your children's eyes
Raised obliged, religious ties that bound us to a family life that wasn't right
but there's no plight to speak of now

You could say I came from starstuff, sure
You could say I came from a loving god
But I really believe that my parents' intentions were pure
and the way I see it

I exist cuz of a singles mixer in San Francisco in the 80's
Love persists and it warps and shifts and brings new gifts from having babies
I exist cuz of a lover's tryst and I have not missed the trappings of a
stable stagnant magnet for despair
A sham marriage
