[LYRICS] Mumford & Sons - Tompkins Square Park (Lyrics)

Mumford & Sons - Tompkins Square Park (Lyrics)

[Verse 1:]
Oh babe, meet me in Tompkins Square Park
I wanna hold you in the dark
One last time
Just one last time

And oh babe, can you tell what's on my tongue?
Can you guess that I'll be gone?
With the twilight
With the twilight

[Hook 1:]
But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too well
And most don't even last the night
No they don't, they say they don't

[Verse 2:]
Oh babe, I've never been so lost
I wanna hear you laugh
One last time
Just one last time

And oh babe, I really wish you would not cry
I only ever told you one lie
When it could have been a thousand
It might as well have been a thousand

[Hook 1:]
But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too well
And most don't even last the night
No they don't, they say they don't

[Hook 2:]
And we could talk it round again girl
Round and round, round and round again
Or we could leave it out tonight
Leave it out just leave it out

[Bridge:]
I never tried to trick you babe
I just tried to work it out
But I was swallowed up by doubt
If only things were black and white
Cause I just want to hold you tight
Without holding back my mind
Without holding back my mind

[Hook 3:]
But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too well
And most don't even last the night
No they don't they say they don't

[CarolsKilljoy]

My boyfriend introduced me to Mumford and Sons. A month ago he took his own life. this hurts so bad

[Pizzyification]

Every time I listen to this I can't help but cry.... Fucking Mumford man. They get me sometimes... Habibi gets me sometimes... but it's only a good memories within a bad time for me now. She'll never be anything more than that to me...and it hurts so much to know that now... but I'll be strong this time when I wasn't before.

I was searching this song for 2 years and finally found it, I must say it's still perfect

[girldisappearing]

"I never tried to trick you babe
I just tried to work it out
But I was swallowed up by doubt
If only things were black and white
Cause I just want to hold you tight
Without holding back my mind
Without holding back my mind
But no flame burns forever, oh no
You and I both know this all too well
And most don't even last the night"

Love this...

[rosina]

Why hasn't this got more views?! I LOVE this song!!!

[chloerosas]

The part of the song where it says "ive never been so lost" makes me cry reminds me of my great dane when he died I was so lost without him :(

[michelcunningham]

Without holding back my mind haaaa, everything is excellent, especially the guitars.

[joemunoz]

the song hits me right in my heart... love you Liz!!!!

[LaLuz]

Don't let me go. I don't want to go away for ever..

[lakerskid]

I remember for the longest time thinking the first part of the chorus saying “But no flame lasts forever” instead of it really saying “But no flame burns forever.” I suppose in my mind that it made more sense that way because flame can get described as a lover.

[rosina]

Love the video, kudos to the editor x

[colemoore]

"Tompkins Square Park" is my third favorite after "The Wolf".

[stishuk]

This song reminds me a lot of things that i should and shouldnt have done.

[colemoore]

Not to mention that the "The Wolf" was my second favorite after "Believe".

[emoticonface]
