It was in your basement apartment With all of this earth and seaMaking love on the carpetUnder the light of the TVOutside the sour moon minstrelsShook their dark tambourinesThe morning came in sinisterWhere will the light menacingWith clouds up aboveClouds down belowKilling timeBut it won't stand stillIt won't stand stillI told you I'll never make a promiseA promise I can keepI thanked you for being honestI told you don't pull that * on meThese are the hangover daysFrosted glass, metallic gleamAll these new and old placesThey erase your memoriesWhich ISo hardWhich ISo hardWhich ISo hard to loveWhich ISo hard to loveWhich ISo hard to loveWas underneath London BridgeI finally realized what you meanMeanwhile all the fashion's latestWere living in the heels of historyI tried to send you a postcardBut all you could write were apologiesSo out the Columbia hotel windowI threw my heart into the streetsStars up aboveAnd stars down belowKilling timeBut I won't stand stillIt won't stand stillWe tried so hardWe tried so hardWe tried so hard to loveWe tried so hard to loveWe tried so hard to loveWe tried so hard to loveWe tried so hard to love
