[Intro] [Verse] Oh babe meet me in Tompkins Square Park I wanna hold you in the dark One last time just one last time Oh babe can you tell what’s on my tongue? Can you guess that I’ll be gone? With the twilight With the twilight [Chorus] No flame burns forever oh no You and I both know this all too well Most don’t even last the night No they don’t they say they don’t [Verse] Oh babe I’ve never been so lost I wanna hear you lie One last time just one last time But oh babe I really wish you would not cry I only ever told you one lie When it could have been a thousand It might as well have been a thousand [Chorus] But no flame burns forever oh no You and I both know this all too well Most don’t even last the night No they don’t they say they don’t    And we can talk it round again girl Round and round round and round again We could leave it out to die Leave it out just leave it out [Bridge] (single strum) I never tried to trick you babe I just tried to work it out But I was swallowed up by doubt If only things were black and white Cause I just want to hold you tight Without holding back my mind    Without holding back my mind [Solo] x2 [Chorus]     No flame burns forever oh no You and I both know this all too well Most don’t even last the night. End in Dm

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un moment de tendresse fugace entre deux personnes qui savent que leur relation touche à sa fin. L'homme désire rencontrer sa partenaire dans un parc pour vivre une dernière étreinte, tout en étant conscient des mensonges qui ont jalonné leur histoire. Il exprime un profond sentiment de perte et de regret, tout en réalisant que ces instants de passion ne peuvent pas durer, car les flammes de l'amour ne brulent pas éternellement. Le contexte semble être un adieu poignant, où chaque échange de mots et chaque geste complice résonnent avec une mélancolie palpable. Au milieu des doutes et des promesses non tenues, on ressent un besoin désespéré de connexion, même si la séparation est inévitable. C'est un regard sincère sur la fragilité des relations humaines.
