The Magnetic Fields
The Saddest Story Ever Told
[Verse 1: Susan Anway]
We used to go out on the summer nights
And dance in the neon rain
We used to hold hands at the movie show
But we'll never hold hands again

[Pre-Chorus]
Do do do do do, come on
Do do do do do, come on

[Chorus]
Those days are gone
You and I were young, those summer nights
You'll see the world
Diving for a girl you'll never find
And then we'll quietly grow old
The saddest story ever told

[Verse 2]
Once upon a time we fell in love
Or at least that's what you said
You say I can find someone else
But I just wish I was dead

[Pre-Chorus]
Do do do do do, come on
Do do do do do, come on
[Chorus]
Those days are gone
You and I were young, those summer nights
You'll see the world
Diving for a girl you'll never find
And then we'll quietly grow old
The saddest story ever told
