We tuned the dial
We heard the news
And laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine
And spoke of times
We knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
Oh I remember
Death in the afternoon

A silence fell about the room
With harsh and heavy calm
The lovers and the friends all felt the same
It kept us warm
We raised our glass
And drank to times we had
But'd see no more
The pictures of the past would haunt us still
And there remain
Oh I remember
Death in the afternoon

We tuned the dial
We heard the news
And laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine
And spoke of times
We knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry

We tuned the dial
We heard the news
And laughed
We don't know why
We drank the wine
And spoke of times
We knew
Of days gone by
We flicked through photographs we had
Somehow they made us sad
Remembering the times we used to have
It made us cry
