lyrics

Can I knock on that old wooden door once again?
Can I knock on that old wooden door once again?
Oh I can feel the heat of the spaghetti steam
It streams the cracks of the angles so neat
Of the door...
But tomorrow the door will be gone.

Can I sit down at that jangling table again?
Can I sit down at that jangling table again?
Oh we leaned over the table with personal flames
Proposing our visions and distributing blame
'round the table...
But tomorrow the table is gone.

Can I believe in this wine that sticks to my lips?
Can I believe in this wine that sticks to my lips?
Oh we walked in like David so marble and proud
Now the marble has melted and it swims beneath the shroud
Of the wine...
But tomorrow the wine will be gone.

Can I look out of that window on the face of the moon?
Can I look out of that window on the face of the moon?
Oh as the room was exploding and glowing with youth,
The moon through the window hung pale o'er the roofs
Singing...
Tomorrow the youth will be gone

Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone.

What do I do when my footsteps echo empty in the dark?
What do I do when my footsteps echo empty in the dark?
Oh as the shimmering earth shivers the cold night
I'll think on that room enveloped by the light
Oh I'll remember
Though the light of the room is all gone
Oh I'll remember
Though the light of the room is all gone
Oh I'll remember
Though the light of the room is all gone
Gone, gone.
