lyrics

Into the room you stumbled dimly
“I love this song,” and then you kissed me
Tender and sweet or so I remember
When we were young charming and clever

Paperbacks piled up on the dresser
Twain and Voltaire by your parents’ picture
An old black in white in formal attire
Two fresh face kids brighter than diamonds

Curtains were drawn to keep the city
At bay till dawn, until we were ready
All romantics often remember
When they were young, charming, and clever

Has this room gone cold now?
In passing I wonder
