lyrics

And merry souls laugh as the summer unfurls
Yelling across the parks of this shell of a world
It it feels like a grand house in ruin and decay
And we jest about the rooms like lords and ladies of
forgotten days

And the bandstands there sorrowful because nobody plays
And the leaves are ever waving whilst nobody takes
It it feels like a grand house in ruin and decay
And we wander round the rooms one last time before
we go away

And when the world is ruined yet the earth shall remain
And where a story wanders lost, another one begins
It it feels like a grand house in ruin and decay
And we smile upon its tired walls once more before
new futures make their way
