| In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
|
| While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched she sang
|
| Is there anyone who’s seen those eyes dismissing her?
|
| Is there anyone who’s lips she’s kissed complained?
|
| Seven months and seven wonders, seven roads of rain and thunder
|
| Seven hills of lamplight gleaming, seven turns toward where you’re
|
| dreaming
|
| Oh, to be back with you
|
| On a mission of the crossroad palms, simplicity
|
| Could function as a fine first prize for pain
|
| But picking up the breadcrumb clues efficienctly
|
| Will light me up a new days dawn, but strange
|
| In the shadow of the old north church I courted her
|
| In the clanging of the cast iron bell, her face
|
| While the shadows of the hil<op shop distorted her
|
| I tumbled on my pride, pitfall from grace
|
| Lots of time to think it over, lots of pain to claim and shoulder
|
| I was wrong, I don’t deny it
|
| Please forgive me, would you try it
|
| Oh, to be back with you
|
| Oh, to be back with you
|

| In the shadow of the old norh church
|
| I courted her,
|
| While the pigeons and the gargoyles perched
|
| she sang.
|
| Is there anyone who’s seen those eyes

| Is there anyone whose lips she’s kissed complained?
|
| Chorus: (play like intro)
|
| Seven months and seven wonders,
|
| Seven roads of the rain and thunder,
|
| Seven hills of lamplight gleaming,
|
| Seven turns towards where you’re dreaming,
|
| Oh, to be back with you.
|
| On a mission of the crossroad palms
|
| Could function as a fine first prize for pain,
|
| But picking up the bread crumb clues
|
| Will light me up a new day’s dawn,
|
| but strange.
|
| In the shadow of the old north church
|
| I courted her,
|
| In the clanging of the cast iron bells,
|
| her face;
|
| While windows of the hil<op shop
|
| distorted her,
|
| I tumbled on my pride pitfall from grace.
|
| Seven months and seven wonders,
|
| Seven roads of rain and thunder,
|
| Seven hills of lamplight gleaming,
|
| Seven turns towards where you’re dreaming,
|
| Lots of time to think it over,
|
| Lots of blame to claim and shoulder,
|
| I was wrong, I don’t deny it,
|
| Please forgive me, would you try it?
|
| Oh, to be back with you,
|
| Oh, to be back with you. |
