lyrics

You’ve got a way of talking
I’ve got a way of holding in
Back to the start again

Things I should say more often
Get bottled up to pour like gin
Back to the start again

And when you see me
Am I a shadow in your night?
When I look into your eyes
Why do they burn so big and bright?

Oh, dreams of empire

Up from the solid South and
In from the wide Missouri plains
Back to the start again

Borne high on dusky backs and
Laid low in everlasting shame
Back to the start again

And when you see me
Am I the specter on your glass?
Why do you turn your gaze away?
Am I the visage of your past?

Oh, dreams of empire
