And when I see your sunlit eyes it turns my laughter

into stone

I wait a single hour before the light unreal and alone


Summer's waxing in the air the meadows stretch

and onwards to st James square

Oh my mind's astray

I dream of you each fevered night the stars are cold 

and singing in an august sky 

that breaks into the day


Are you really in the lonely evening light

That falls in shadows to the ground

And when I wake enchanted and alone

I don't know where to turn my eyes


Summer's waxing in the air the meadows stretch 

and onwards to St James square

Oh my mind's astray

An afternoon on Saturday before the stars 

can shine upon the streets of grey

And you and I go home


And when I see your sunlit eyes it turns my laughter

into stone

I wait a single hour before the light unreal and alone
