It was an eight-minute ceremony
|
Everyone was there
|
The groom wore a black cape
|
The bride with diamonds in her hair
|
They've disappeared like the troubadours
|
They're not comin' back
|
We really knew how to have some fun
|
They're not alive, not one of 'em
|
Yeah
|
|
I sit alone in my room
|
I'm so damned depressed
|
I re-enact plays on the polo field
|
I've never ridden a horse
|
That's just the trouble with magazines
|
I get so involved
|
Recalling my days in North Africa
|
I've never crossed the Atlantic
|
Yeah
|
|
My parents lived a life less glamorous
|
Workin' away in Las Vegas
|
'72 Vista Cruiser
|
They even lived in it
|
I'll gladly tell you all about it
|
I can't remember it
|
I'll say "Those were the days of the troubadours
|
They're not comin' back"
|
We really knew how to have some fun
|
Before my parents got divorced
|
