So I sit here tonight At the end of the day Brooding over the things I could not grasp You"re gone for good And forever it seems I guess we really can"t repeat the past.
But I still recall the music, vividly and obscene We danced until the morning and our records clean Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen She promised you to wait In Louisville, 1917
The fading glory of life And of dreams unfulfilled They haunt me, every time I go to bed Shallow confessions of love And the indifference All the rumours that they spread
But I still recall the music, vividly and obscene We danced until the morning and our records clean Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen She promised you to wait In Louisville, 1917
We all pay the price For the path that we choose And one day, your love just set the seal A desperate bullet I guess integrity kills The truth that the silence can"t reveal
But I still recall the music, vividly and obscene We danced until the morning and our records clean Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen She promised you to wait In Louisville, 1917
So I sit here tonight You would love it, old sport The green light shines across the bay And the orgastic future That we"re drifting towards Like the past is led astray
