Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Let us stroll, hand and hand, While the cities fumes encircle us, like a marching band The moon will wake from its drunken stupor Only to ask who the hell we are We’ve met before, you say As I steal a glance, and we walk away
Down the nicotine streets Past the rusted pub on the corner and the funeral mourner With his stolen beggars cup That no longer contains coins But instead a lover called jack
He looks familiar, you say Always in the last pew, back in May
You haven’t been back to the chapel since Constantly wondering, and questioning the Prince
As our heels become worn and the sun begins to yawn We arrive back at my little brick place The steps a little too steep and the roof a little too slanted The flowers never planted
Next time, you’re following me, you say As I slip the key into the lock, and you walk away.
