Tompkins Square Park

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Outro] But no flame burns forever, oh no You and I both know this all too well And most don't even last the night
