At the end of a long day with 40 degrees in the shade
I'm standing on a hillside watching someone I used to love play
And the singer is much thinner than I remember
So what does that make me?
And he's hiding what's left of his hair under a cap
No we're not so young, but we are still free
And the moon tonight is a custard cream
And it hangs high above the Adriatic sea
And there's a wooden stage and a tree
And electric lights swaying in the breeze
No I don't remember very much I admit
I am guilty of wasting through the days
But you light me up like a thousand fireflies
Oh light me up tonight
And the city tonight is a distant dream
And the countryside is the place to be
And we don't dance very well
But we can twirl
There's something I have to say
These are historic times
And I can feel the earth quake
With what we've left behind
But I don't mind

Kings & Queens is so beautiful. it also has that line that kills me every time:
"I wanted to impress you
and I think you knew"
just perfect delivery, timing, words, music.
