Reunion Ball - The Lilac Time

The orchestra’s yawning they’re sleepy I know

Oh but I don’t feel like letting them go

Embossed in the melodies

Block capital memory

Of childish complexities

Reunion ball

Of girls and boys

Who could have done it all

Reunion ball

The heavyweight champion of love and romance

Oh but my partners weren’t given a chance

I met you beneath the clock

Goodnight goodbye and thanks a lot

Don’t wait for the postman’s knock

Reunion ball

Of girls and boys

Who could have done it all

Reunion ball

Rotating cylinders that once poured headlines

Still the technology’s breadlines

To prove our time

Is monstrous in its stillness

And I loved you before before

Before I found out we were poor

And saving for our Sunday best

We’ll wear to…
