Lyrics:
Don’t know why But looking at the sky I see we’re through Don’t know what for But sugar, there’s no more me and you We could fight against the tide But we both know deep inside Our love is like an empire in decline Baby, I can read the signs That’s why I’ve got to say Our love is like an abandoned carousel Near a bombed-out band shell On a dried-up midway The best of times Sugar cubes and limes and sunny days That’s what we had So baby, don’t feel bad as it decays There’s no point in hanging on When we know the spark is gone Our love is like a forgotten monument We’ve forgotten what it meant But we’re standing here in awe Our love is like a ruin in the sun Majestic and undone By our one fatal flaw But I promise I’ll remember I’ll remember I’ll remember I can’t say when Now turned into then but I’m afraid I know that he Will take the place of me so if I stayed I’d be standing on your wings For the sake of bygone things Our love is like a crumbling pyramid After everything we did We are buried in the sand Our love is like the writing on a tomb Or a cobweb-covered room Where our future was planned And the band did march in tight formation Its brass and cymbals all ablaze The air it played was filled with exaltation But it was only counting down the days Yes, the harmonies did gather in the twilight And for a while it truly seemed as if The song of us would not be gone from my sight But they were only marching off a cliff But I promise I’ll remember … Our love is like a Soviet parade You can feel the glory fade And all we want is to be free Our love is like a forest gone to blade And where once there was shade Is only sunburned debris Our love is like a palace turned to dust But bow down we must When the old bells toll Our love is like a gridlocked motorcade That a sniper’s disarrayed From some distant grassy knoll Our love is like an empire in decline And what was once yours and mine Has come all unwound Our love is like a version of the past When a legendary blast Burned our shadows on the ground But I promise I’ll remember …
