[Verse 1: John Cale & Brian Eno]
Night-time is falling on the Louvre
It's been a lazy afternoon
We walk to the house, the air is clear
The water's still moving in the pool

[Chorus: John Cale, Brian Eno, John Cale & Brian Eno]
You say the same thing (One word, one sound)
(It makes the world go 'round) Again
One word, we fight (You'll see you can't win)
We're in a game (The same place but not the same spin)
Let it all fade away (If it fades away) I don't mind
We were miles away, we were miles away
We were miles and miles away

[Verse 2: John Cale & Brian Eno]
Remember this oil by Augustus John?
These are the ones I found in Rome
There are few things I keep for long
When does your plane leave for Cologne?

[Chorus: John Cale, Brian Eno, John Cale & Brian Eno]
I recall the train (One word I saw)
People danced again (That's all it took to turn them around)
One world we're in (Strange world, no sound)
We'll find the same thing (The same things are everywhere around)
Never mind you'll see with time, we'll dance again
If it all fades away, let it all fade dancing away
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: John Cale, Brian Eno, John Cale & Brian Eno]
All the sounds I heard on a summer night (One word I found)
And the quiet words we exchanged (That's all it took to turn him around)
I felt she was pulling back to emphasize (She watched, he sighs)
I was falling into Mona Lisa's eyes (He waits for a touch of her eyes)
And she turned and she turned (And then she turns away)
She was far away (She won't let him touch her any more today)
She was miles away, she was miles away
She was so many miles away
