Along the banks
Of the canal
Walking home
Where raindrops fell
In and out of sodium
Yellow light washes down
Cigarette burns a hole
Warms a heart at 4am
We can’t go back
We can’t change time
All we have
Is in our mind
And love it fades
Like autumn leaves
Blown away
To dust decay
How could we live
If I was here
All we would say
Was that a good good year
And what would I say
If I could speak
A word of love
Above beneath
Now you can dream
A good good dream
I’ll meet you there
Every single time
So think of me
As I would you
So think of me
As I would you
You can choose
Somewhere wonderful
Just sit and think
For a while
When I must go
It’s not goodbye
You’ve woken up
I’m still yours and you’re still mine
