Lovers drifting down the street Cool jazz on the corner Neon melting in the heat And I can't take my mind off her I thought the dream was on And I thought this love could hover But now as clear as dawn It's all over It was a vapid afternoon She was Cora's sister And like some witless fool I just couldn't resist her I thought the dream was on And I thought this love could hover But now as clear as dawn It's all over All along the river All over this savage place Fever fits and shivers All over my human face All the world is crumbling All the things I thought I knew In the dark I'm fumbling All I do is wondering about you While the streetlights glow There's a silent whisper Telling me I need to know How much I miss her I thought the dream was on And I thought this love could hover But now as clear as dawn It's all over All over
