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
