Lyrics

Havana was burning and there was nothing I could do Put a record on the stereo and wrote a letter to you I read it for you as well; stories I couldn't tell that came true Carry a torch, carry a torch. It's allright now Carry a torch, carry a torch. It's time to burn it down Robert Mitchum was dying but I wouldn't take the blame The blood looked better in black and white but it was color just the same The heroine looked like you. What else could I do but turn away? (ch) The national anthem was playing but I didn't bother to rise So, I unplugged my phone and I closed my eyes These days when I dream, nothing ever seems to make any sense (ch)
