|
We returned to that five room flat |
|
Now it was empty and this the last time |
|
Ther were blinking pictures |
|
Of how we'd sit and chat |
|
Some of them are scattered |
|
Others shattered in my mind |
|
Chorus: |
|
It was always three flights up |
|
Cathedral bells kept time |
|
In the winter, a-chatterin' cold |
|
While the building shook like rageweed in the wind |
|
Stories from the heat pipes |
|
We were told |
|
But now they only leave me |
|
With a half-enchanted grin |
|
Chorus |
|
Bridge: |
|
Bicycles squeezed down alley ways into view |
|
And towels warmed on oven doors |
|
To not freeze |
|
Was the only thing to do |
|
I wonder if we kept to the fair warning |
|
'Cause I can see it in the flowers |
|
Dyin' on the window sil |
|
I know we must be out by tommorow mornin' |
|
But am I goin' 'gainst my will |
|
Chorus |
|
Bridge |
|
Repeat last verse |
|
Chorus |
