| the taxi lights were in your eyes
|
| so warm against st marys spires
|
| the carnival was over in the rain
|
| and arm in arm through vincent street
|
| the evening hanging like a dream
|
| i touched your face and saw the night again
|
| and in your arms i watched the stars
|
| ascend and sweep a loneliness away for a while
|
| your fingers white and locked in mine
|
| i kiss your face i kiss your eyes until
|
| they turn to me and softly smile
|
| and empty hearted i walked on
|
| the river flowing to the song
|
| of the evening in the darkness and the rain
|
| the christmas lights were far down stream
|
| the wind so lonely and unreal
|
| i saw your face and i thought you were a dream
|
| but when i saw your eyes what could i do?
|
| what could i say, my love?
|
| your kisses they will hide away the stars
|
| its Saturday, the evening’s come
|
| the football crowds have all gone home
|
| but still behind this window i look on
|
| december’s leaves so slowly fall
|
| to cars that break the evening’s pall
|
| and i will wait for you to come tonight |
