The Days of Duke and Nancy
Late into the afternoon we'll sit here
And late into the evening we'll confide
'Cause there's nothing left to do but sit and think of who
Will tell them in the morning that we died
Let me tell you something alone, sister
Something plagues me deep deep down inside
And my loneliness is such that I cannot stand so much
To be here separated from my bride
Underneath the girders on Delancey
Burns a deep and unspeakable crime
And gone are the days of Duke and Nancy
And gone are the great ones of our time
But in the future tell them that I lived here
And stayed out late and sang to rooms and cried
That I rested where she laid and gave her what I made
And always stayed by her side
And always stayed by her side
And late into the evening we'll confide
'Cause there's nothing left to do but sit and think of who
Will tell them in the morning that we died
Let me tell you something alone, sister
Something plagues me deep deep down inside
And my loneliness is such that I cannot stand so much
To be here separated from my bride
Underneath the girders on Delancey
Burns a deep and unspeakable crime
And gone are the days of Duke and Nancy
And gone are the great ones of our time
But in the future tell them that I lived here
And stayed out late and sang to rooms and cried
That I rested where she laid and gave her what I made
And always stayed by her side
And always stayed by her side
