Saturday

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
