Lyrics:
When you & I were young We would press our white faces from the car & the rain on the windows would run through the gathering dark & the lampposts shone & dogs would run into the dying frame Where the park was glowing dimly through the silence of the lanes & the radiators hum rose above the falling leaves Where so fragile & so young you had drifted into sleep I've been for a walk & every face I see seems to be mine Night-time comes The birds have flown A fever glows in every line I love this season This weary night The flint the dreams the silent pines The eeriness Is in the feeling That I have finished everything & a child from the school was running back to her car & her white face cried she was deaf & afraid of the dark & the whispering house grew still as we stared into the night In the garden & the lamps & the window's fading light & though Christmas was the same, we had seen another year Turning softly through the flames
