An Hour Before The Light

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
