lyrics

When I met you first, you pulled me from the river
Saw the redcoats coming and we ran for cover
I helped you climb into your saddle
You died the first time in that battle

Second time we met among the sweating bodies
In a sleepless city filled with endless parties
Through strings of pearls and trails of feathers
I loved you more than I could measure
I left you for a man of leisure

By then I knew our paths would recombine
Somewhere further down the line

Don’t worry, love
We’ll work out fine
Our day will come
Just give us time

London was abuzz with talk of revolution
Armed with old guitars instead of ammunition
We locked eyes once in Piccadilly
I found out later you’d died early
You never left the swinging sixties

I’d like to find a place in history
Where you don’t die and I don’t leave

Don’t worry, love
We’ll work out fine
Our day will come
Just give us time

Don’t worry, my love
We’ll meet again, meet again
Don’t worry, my love
We’ll see the end, see the end

Now our love begins within a world that’s ending
Never knew the sand would simply stop descending
You couldn’t fault us on our timing
We stare at walls we should be climbing
Of hollow halls in which we’re hiding

With horror films and documentaries
Of parallel realities
