Tompkins Square Park Lyrics

Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins Square Park
I wanna hold you in the dark
One last time
Just one last timeAnd oh babe, can you tell what's on my tongue?
Can you guess that I'll be gone?
With the twilight
With the twilightBut 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'tOh babe, I've never been so lost
I wanna hear you lie
One last time
Just one last timeBut 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 thousandBut 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'tAnd 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 outI 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 mindBut no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too well
And most don't even last the night
