lyrics

I guess she must me in Madrid by now, and the pangs have just begun
You know they say the only cure for growing old is dating young
And the only cure for youth, I hear, is somewhere overseas
I pray thee, god of longing, bring my lover back to me

She's dancing in Vienna to a tiny minuet
She's strewn all her belongings on the south bank of forgetting
O, we give pet names to our cruelties, "letting go", "setting free"
I pray thee, god of longing, bring my lover back to me

I'd like to offer this confession of a dirty old man's disgrace
Age thirty, still at the mercy of these bohemian clichés
Do I pray thee make me young again or pray thee save me face?
As she runs among those native tongues all waiting turns to take their taste

And there she is in Dresden, by the river yet again
It's all there in the photograph, but who's behind the lens?
Do I pray thee make me young again or pray thee let me be?
I pray thee, god of longing, bring my lover back to me
