Tompkins Square Park

Oh, babe, meet me in Tompkins Square Park

I wanna hold you in the dark

One last time

Just one last time

And oh, babe, can you tell what's on my tongue?

Can you guess that I'll be gone

With the twilight?

With the twilight

But no flame burns forever, oh no

You and I both know this all too well

And most don't even last the night

No, they don't, they say they don't

And oh, babe, I've never been so lost

I wanna hear you laugh

One last time

Just one last time

But oh, babe, I really wish you would not cry

I only ever told you one lie

When it could have been a thousand

It might as well have been a thousand

But no flame burns forever, oh no

You and I both know this all too well

And most don't even last the night

No, they don't, they say they don't

And we can talk it 'round again, girl

'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round again

Or we could leave it all tonight

Leave it all just leave it all

I never tried to trick you, babe

I just tried to work it out

But I was swallowed up by doubt

If only things were black and white

'Cause I just wanna hold you tight

Without holding back my mind

Without holding back my mind

But no flame burns forever, oh no

You and I both know this all too well

And most don't even last the night
