lyrics

Watching the sun go down way beyond the edge of town
And standing holdhanding evergreen and oak
Now I can't hear the road and it's getting kinda cold
Revealing our breathing in a cloud of smoke

There were kings here but they all got washed away
We can watch their pictures on TV
They know all things we never got to say
Do you hear them or is it just me

Not ready to go in in spite of the piercing wind
Finally unduly quiet when it dies down
You can really see the stars in this place we think is ours
But I wonder what's underneath our feet right now

There were kings here but they all got washed away
Now they're under glass ina museum
They know everything we never got to say
Or we only spoke of in a dream

Rise and fall
We arrived and wondered where you'd gone
Is that all
This was never meant to last too long

If in a thousand years someone else is walking here
And standing holdhanding underneath the trees
Maybe they won't recall we were ever here at all
But I'm glad how we're here now
I guess that's all we need

There were kings here but they all got lost away
Guess they couldn't make it on their own
They know though we never had a lot to say
Do you hear them or am I alone
