Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello babe
Meet me in Tompkins Square Park
I wanna hold you in the dark
One last time
Just one last time
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
And 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
[Verse 4]
But oh, babe
I've never been so lost
I wanna hear you live one last time
Just one last time
[Verse 5]
And 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
[Verse 6]
And 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
[Verse 7]
And we can talk it 'round again, girl
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round again
We could leave it all tonight
Leave it all
Just leave it all
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
And no flame burns forever
Oh no
You and I both know this all too well
And most don't even last the night
