lyrics

I was beckoned out one night
By the wind-chill rising dark
And the leaf-tide flotsam passing by
As I passed the shuffling park.
I went out to find you
And the flock of leaves in the air
And my breath-tide rolling in and out
But crocuses grew in the, crocuses grew in the square.

I went out to meet you
And you under lamplight leak
And you standing hatted and gentle there
And I forgot how to, I forgot how to speak.
You said ‘take your time’ so kindly
I stumbled to confess
And you grasped my hand in yours and then
Our sudden code-breaker, sudden code-breaker kiss.

Then we went out in the cool together
And all of the world was ours
And high on the night’s dark shoulder there
A billion startled, billion startled stars.
Now I walk out in the blankest dark
Out on the night’s black brow
And I can see you clearer there
But you are nowhere, you are nowhere now.
