Babylon (ancient city) ( “gate of God”), one of the most important cities of the ancient world, whose location today is marked by a broad area of ruins just east of the Euphrates River, 56 miles south of Baghdad, Iraq. Babylon was the capital of Babylonia in the 2nd and 1st millennia BC. In antiquity the city profited from its location extending across the main overland trade route connecting the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean.

Babylon represented the very finest education, economic opportunity, and modern civilization. Babylon = Utopia. Ironically, it was the very reason for its demise. Babylon would eventually fall because of greed, from the Babylonians and from outsiders looking to conquer new land.
reason that David Gray mentions Babylon is because of the historical perspective that I just mentioned. A relationship between two people that was, or should have been, perfect falls apart.
