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 Oh babe, I've never been so lost I wanna hear you lie 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 out to die Leave it out just leave it out 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 want to 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
