It's the beginning of the end - or just the end of the beginning... now pending
Restless, hear my words are bouncing back, it seems they found no home
I'm still here after all of this
Walk away with dignity and we'll remember what it used to be
Play that song just one more time
We'll bring back memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'll paint from memory your face, my love
Is this the time of grand illusion, war and endless fights?
I watch them all from here - you know it's killing me
Now there is a new pope every year and borders don't hold true
Take me back in time – what's a honest man to do?
Play that song just one more time
We'll bring back memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'll paint from memory your face, my love
Time and place for everyone under the sun
Now no more words from this old pen and no more speech to follow
Said and done, now fast approach the 1900
One last round, a toast to us, I won't look back
Now change we must, move on...
Play that song just one more time
We'll bring back memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'll paint from memory your face, my love
