So I sit here tonight
At the end of the day
Brooding over the things I could not grasp
You"re gone for good
And forever it seems
I guess we really can"t repeat the past.
But I still recall the music, vividly and obscene
We danced until the morning and our records clean
Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen
She promised you to wait
In Louisville, 1917
The fading glory of life
And of dreams unfulfilled
They haunt me, every time I go to bed
Shallow confessions of love
And the indifference
All the rumours that they spread
But I still recall the music, vividly and obscene
We danced until the morning and our records clean
Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen
She promised you to wait
In Louisville, 1917
We all pay the price
For the path that we choose
And one day, your love just set the seal
A desperate bullet
I guess integrity kills
The truth that the silence can"t reveal
But I still recall the music, vividly and obscene
We danced until the morning and our records clean
Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen
She promised you to wait
In Louisville, 1917
So I sit here tonight
You would love it, old sport
The green light shines across the bay
And the orgastic future
That we"re drifting towards
Like the past is led astray
At the end of the day
Brooding over the things I could not grasp
You"re gone for good
And forever it seems
I guess we really can"t repeat the past.
But I still recall the music, vividly and obscene
We danced until the morning and our records clean
Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen
She promised you to wait
In Louisville, 1917
The fading glory of life
And of dreams unfulfilled
They haunt me, every time I go to bed
Shallow confessions of love
And the indifference
All the rumours that they spread

Oh, you were just a poor boy, determined, fair, and keen
