i remember (death in the afternoon)

we turned the dial

we heard the news and laughed

we don't know why

we drank the wine and spoke of times we knew of days gone by

we flicked through photographs we had

somehow they made us sad

remembering the times we used to have

it made us cry

oh i remember death in the afternoon

a silence fell about the room with harsh and heavy calm

the lovers and the friends all felt the same

it kept us warm

we raised our glass and drank to times we had

but'd see no more

the pictures of the past would haunt us still

and there remains

oh i remember death in the afternoon
