never the strange unthinking joy,
let me learn to doubt romance,
try to live without romance,
changes the pale and winking stars,
strong enough to flout romance and say,
all right, romance, never again.
Over now, the dream is over now.
Maybe it really wasn't so important
What's been can't be again,
The brief illusion I lived for has gone,
and break my heart again,
If you should ask me to, I'd say,
Never the strange, unthinking joy.
Let me learn to doubt romance.
Try to live without romance.
Changes the pale and winking stars,
Strong enough to flout romance,
they say you're out romance,
