lyrics

When the night comes along
Like an old desert song
And the birds have all gone
from the sky
The remains of the day
brush the pale milky way
Like the train of a bride
going by

When you smoke your regret
like a last cigarette
With the words that you said
grainy blue
You will walk down that lane
To a place of no pain
Where the one that you loved
waits for you

Secret looks in passage ways
Kites aloft on windy days
Kisses stolen in cafes
Hearts that danced a pollonaise
When the autumn was ablaze
And the golden lion was the sun

But the night came along
Like an old desert song
And the birds have all gone
from the sky
