lyrics

the way the light hit your skin
i barely recognize you
and the clothes you're in
hadn't been in style since some other golden age

you spent the day wandering
by the bohemian red roofed building
and then you let it all go
on that hill in the castle's shadow
yeah you know you got carried away

oh the years dipped in amber
you were a prehistoric creature
but your heart still beats away

darling the look on your face
it seems so obvious now:
what would get replaced, what would remain
i couldn't see it anyhow

and through a crack in the wall
you saw the light of a falling empire
and in the flickering glow
you found your way to the summer cinema
you were a star of the screen and the stage

oh the years dipped in amber
you were a prehistoric creature
but your heart still beats away
