Our story’s noble as its tragic
Our story’s noble as its tragic
like the grimace of a tyrant
like the grimace of a tyrant
no drama’s chance or magic
no drama’s chance or magic
no detail that’s indifferent
no detail that’s indifferent
makes our great love pathetic
makes our great love pathetic


And Thomas de Quincey drinking
And Thomas de Quincey drinking
Opiate poison sweet and chaste
Opiate poison sweet and chaste
Of his poor Anne went dreaming
Of his poor Anne went dreaming
We pass we pass since all must pass
We pass we pass since all must pass
Often I’ll be returning
Often I’ll be returning


Memories are hunting horns alas
Memories are hunting horns alas
whose note along the wind is dying
whose note along the wind is dying

written by Guillaume Apollinaire

Our story’s noble as its tragic
like the grimace of a tyrant
no drama’s chance or magic
no detail that’s indifferent
makes our great love pathetic

And Thomas de Quincey drinking
Opiate poison sweet and chaste
Of his poor Anne went dreaming
We pass we pass since all must pass
Often I’ll be returning

Memories are hunting horns alas
whose note along the wind is dying
