Another sunny day, I met you up in the gardenYou were digging
plants, I dug you, beg your pardonI took a photograph of you in
the herbaceous borderIt broke the heart of men and flowers and
girls and treesAnother rainy day, we’re trapped inside with a
train setChocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we metYou’ve
got the attic window looking out on the cathedral And on a Sunday
evening bells ring out in the dusk Another day in June, we’ll
pick eleven for footballWe’re playing for our lives the referee
gives us fuck allI saw you in the corner of my eye on the
sidelinesYour dark mascara bids me to historical
deedsEverybody’s gone you picked me up for a long driveWe take
the tourist route the nights are light until midnightWe took the
evening ferry over to the peninsulaWe found the avenue of trees
went up to the hillThat crazy avenue of trees, I’m living there
stillThere’s something in my eye a little midge so
beguilingSacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eyeI heard
the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dearYou missed my
eye, I wonder why, I didn’t complainYou missed my eye, I wonder
why, please do it again The lovin is a mess what happened to all
of the feeling?I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools
kneelingAnd words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching
foreverSo what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apartGhost
figures of past, present, future haunting the heart
