Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. June 27, 2018]

On Temple Street
Thinning crowds disperse among the dripping hedges
A little blurry at the edges
Up in your suite
Replete amid the juggled slumber never knew
Whose number could be up next

And you talk about our time together
And it seems so long ago
How'd you ever get to be so enchanting and so low?
I know
You'd better pack up and go

On Temple Street
The ambulance advances through the teeming night
So medical in red and white
And at your feet
The servants bow and scrape seeking gratitude
As you adjust your altitude

And you talk about our time together
All the hours that you used
How'd you ever get to be so enchanting and so low?
I know
After all that you've refused

(indecipherable overlapping voices)

Beware the cinder that glows
It's burning more than you suppose

On Temple Street
The morning starts in rain along the garden paths
Laughing in the aftermath

On Temple Street
Thinning crowds disperse among the dripping hedges
Little blurry at the edges

Temple Street
Temple Street
Temple Street
