 We turned the dial

We heard the news

 And laughed

 We don't know why

 We drank the wine

And spoke of times

 We knew

 Of days gone by

 We flicked through photographs we had

 Somehow they made us sad

 Remembering the times we used to have

 It made us cry

Oh, I remember

Death in the afternoon

A silence fell about the room

With harsh and heavy calm

The lovers and the friends all felt the same

It kept us warm

We raised our glass

And drank to times we had

But'd see no more

The pictures of the past would haunt us still

And there remain

Oh, I remember

Death in the afternoon
