[Harpsichord Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
A fountain whispered secrets to the breeze
As pigeons danced like ghosts among the trees
The roses wore their grief in shades of red
While afternoon collapsed inside my head

We carved our names in marble sky
While rowboats drifted, passing by
You laughed and said, “This world’s too grand to cry”
But tears were falling from the swans that fly

[Chorus]
Hyde Park will never know
How you let me go
By the bandstand where the brass was out of tune
Where the sunset bled in gold
And the statues caught the cold
As I watched your silhouette dissolve too soon
There were willows that were weeping
And a poet quietly sleeping
Underneath a bench where love had turned to stone
Hyde Park will never know
That I lost you there—alone

[Verse 2]
A violinist played a ghostly tune
That echoed from the palace to the moon
The Serpentine grew still to hear the sound
Of all the dreams we dropped upon the ground

A kite got tangled in regret
Like promises we half-forget
You kissed my cheek and said, “Not yet, not yet…”
But springtime fell into a cold sunset

[Chorus]
Hyde Park will never know
What I couldn’t show
How I traced your name in fog upon the glass
How the hours froze like pearls
In the hands of passing girls
As the moments broke like porcelain in the grass
And the guards just kept on walking
While the ravens started talking
Of a love too strange for even time to own
Hyde Park will never know
That I let you go—alone

[Bridge]
Somewhere in the bandstand’s rust
Lies the music turned to dust
And a heart that once believed in endless June…
But we’re just shadows on the lawn
That the morning stepped upon
Like forgotten chords that never reached the tune

(Dramatic Harpsichord Solo)

[Final Chorus]
Hyde Park will never see
What you meant to me
Though the carousel keeps turning unaware
And the blossoms fall like snow
On a bench where we let go
As the clouds remember everything but care
All the lovers pass like strangers
Dodging silence, dodging dangers
As I wait beside a tree that’s overgrown—
Hyde Park will never know
But I still walk it… alone
