Lonesome in Love

I could spend years just remembering
The days when our love was in bloom
But someone should break all the silence we make
Here on our sides of the room
Didn’t we dance in piazzas at night
A wine tinted sky high above
Where’d we go wrong, where’d we start this sad song
About lonesome, being lonesome in love
Dreams they die so slowly
They peel like frescoes from a wall
Flaking away, bit by bit, day by day
Til somehow, they’re not there at all
Barely can look at those photographs now
That brilliant young pair, that was us
Time left a mark, and it’s stolen our spark, and left us
Lonesome, so lonesome in love
Oh, the echoes of those stone cobbled streets
When our hopes hung so ripe on the vine
A million affairs probably started right there
Did any shine more than yours and mine
Dreams they die so slowly
They peel like frescoes from a wall
Flaking away, bit by bit, day by day
Til somehow, they’re not there at all
We could keep living together, apart
And never let push come to shove
But we’ve got too many good miles on these hearts
To be lonesome, this lonesome in love
We got too many good miles on these hearts
To be lonesome, so lonesome in love
