So I came to see you one cool clear night
"It's been a while"
"It's been half a life"
"So how've you been?"
"Keeping busy too"
And "How's so and so?"
And "Did you hear the news?"
Still the sirens sing
Still the west wind howls
Still there's magic in this old grey town
But you can't undo what time has done
The second city's setting sun
For the loves you've lost
For the friends you found
A parting glass raised to the sound
Of a long-lost scene
And the nights that gleamed
Back when you were you
And I was me
They lit us up in electric lights
And the basements glowed in the August night
A rooftop walk
A lost weekend
The painted moon
The sky was red
Now the summers come
And the summers go
We're not growing up
We're just getting old
And some of us kept the dream a dream
Some were strong and some were free
And some of us walk a real rough road
And there but for the grace I go
You knock on wood
And you hope and pray
That you'll be spared another day
The pale white face
The sorrow that you know
Will be your fate
Love won't come with a blinding light
A thunder crack
A lightning strike
No, love it comes unannounced
Silently and slow
You wake one day
And you know it's there
In the way she moves
In the way her hair
Falls across her face
And the way you notice that
I could tell you things I never told a soul
I've been dreaming of those nights in Glasgow
Open up your arms and let me fall
I can barely stand at all
The pale white face
The sorrow that you know
Will be your fate
