lyrics

The tap left on and overflowing
They knocked on the door
but we kept going
You asked me for the here and now
I recited wedding vows

You disappeared with another
Just your dealer, not your lover
Time the healer brought you round
In my arms safe and sound

Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
They all knew the ship would sink
But no one likes to think about it

I danced with a stranger
Across the very same spot
on the floor
Where we'd had our first kiss
all those years before

You sang “I’ll be seeing you,
In all the old familiar places”
The walls and the floor unchanged
Around all these brand new faces

Lovers old and lovers new...
But now the walls are painted white
Not a whisky stain in sight
And like all lost places in this town
Nobody cares what once went down there

And if life is just a book we write
Just a story we’d like to be in
You can paint the walls
and the ceilings
We’ll keep the memories
and the feelings

Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
They all knew the ship would sink
But no one likes to think about it

Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
They all knew the ship would sink
But no one likes to think about it

Lovers old and lovers new
Dancing the whole night and through
We all knew the ship would sink
But we can always think about it

I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
