Time Travel for Lovers
Let's not 'do' Paris anymore
it has become a painted blemish,
yes, I know it's for lovers, but
so is Nashville and it breaks
your heart just as quickly.
London has got tired,
the old and the new are quarrelling
under the same umbrella.
Sweethearts are at odds,
the lonely walk
through the garish nights
slowly fading away
from their own sight.
Let's watch an old movie,
a movie we have seen many times,
that one about time travel...
we will keep moving on
from place to place
falling in love with the same face,
that love story never gets old -
not even in New York
where lovers drift through each other,
dreaming all the while
of that next perfect romance.
