A London Story (Trembling Blue Stars)

We decided to give the lift a miss Took the tube station stairs Outside darkness was falling We soon turned down a quiet side street And in no time were kicking Through autumn leaves on the edge of the Heath Half an hour later we were looking on The sight of London lit up we'd happened upon The lights, the time of day, the time of year For me conspired to give rise to A moment breathtaking in its beauty And I had a sense that she was moved too I don't know how she feels about me now Where a silence has fallen has she ever found That she is thinking she'd like to slip Her hand in mine as in another time Or she is thinking she'd like our lips To meet as they would do in former days Has she never thought along those lines at all? Nothing along those lines at all Nothing along those lines at all Nothing along those lines at all At all When later she said how she was glad She'd finally found the proper Heath I thought how, a little more than three years before All over it we'd walked And wondered if she'd forgot then If I maybe was meant to speak up Feeling puzzled I just kept quiet I made no mention of before I made no mention of before I made no mention of before I made no mention of before
