It's the beginning of the end, or just the end of the beginning, now pending
Restless, hear my words are bouncing back; it seems they found no home
I'm still here (I'm still here) after all those years (play that song just one more time)
Walk away with dignity and we'll remember what it used to be, so proud and free
Play that song just one more time, we'll bring back memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'l paint from memory your face, my love
Is this the time of grand delusion, war and endless fights?
I watch them all from here; you know it's killing me
Now there's a new pope every year and borders don't hold true
(Take me back in time) What's an honest man to do?
Play that song just one more time, we'll bring back memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'l paint from memory your face, my love
Play that song just one more time
Time and place for everyone under the sun
Time and place for everyone under the sun
Play that song just one more time
It's the beginning of the end, or just the end of no beginning
Now no more words from this old pen, and no more speech to follow
Said and done, now fast approach the 1900
One last round: a toast to us
I won't look back, now change, we must move on, and the train's rolling home
Play that song just one more time, we'll bring back memories of kingdoms in the sun
I'l paint from memories your face, my love
Play that song just one more time
Time and place for everyone under the sun
Time and place for everyone under the sun
