Two Gold Rings Lyrics - Rufus Wainwright

Somewhere near central London 

I imagine not so far from Trafalgar Square 

and the lions 

There lives an older gentleman 

who teas with BBC and Britain's ghost 

His lady companion by his side. 

Oh yes, I see him now. 

And cross the deep blue sea 

I cannot smell 

Inside a symphony 

the "Pastorale".

So besides the black rats swimming 

I watch the English evening skies 

reflect my heart 

As I walk behind him, 

Looking for what's been lost 

Like looking over all the trees 

of Hampstead Heath 

now before us in the twilight. 

No, I can't bear it now. 

And cross the deep blue sea 

I cannot smell 

Inside a symphony 

the "Pastorale". 

A jacket and hat...the only trace... 

Two gold rings... 

But never fades.

A jacket and hat...the only trace 

Two gold rings... 

But never fades... 

A face....
