lyrics

Two lovers meet
Share a drink
It makes me think of us
We’re so much more than dust
She holds his coat,
While they embrace
He holds her face
She calls him Mister
He calls her Katydid
Like we once did
Like we once did

All the doorways just empty streets
Through the places that we used to meet
Laugh until we cry
Talk about when we die
Makes me wonder why
Escape to where no one’s put upon
Take the path where no one else has gone
To the city’s outer walls where they hid
Like we once did
Like we once did
Like we once did

Talk about the future, remember the past
The days go on and the wheel turns fast
Can’t see through the fog
Don’t get caught in the cog
A universe inside her eyes
They walk to nowhere under open skies
Into the barrios of Madrid
Like we once did
Like we once did
Like we once did

Like we once did
Like we once did
Like we once did

We once did
We once did
We once did

We once did
We once did
We once did
