"Two Gold Rings" lyrics - RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

Somewhere near central London
I imagine not that far from Trafalagar Square and the lions
There lives an older gentleman
Who teas with BBC and Britain's ghost
His lady companion by his side
Oh yes, I see him now

And cross the deep blue sea
I cannot smell
Inside a symphony
The "Pastorale"

So besides the black rats swimming
I watch the English evening skies
Reflect my heart
As I walk behind him
Looking for what's been lost
Like looking over all the trees
Of Hampstead Heath
Now before us in the twilight
No, I can't bear it now

And cross the deep blue sea
I cannot smell
Inside a symphony
The "Pastorale"

A jacket and hat... the only trace...
Two gold rings...
But never fades.

A jacket and hat... the only trace
Two gold rings...
But never fades...
A face...
