She was Mediterranean brown
In the half light
In the sunlight would I ever know
And you are lost in thought
As I follow the ghost of your cigarette
And jump train singing past your eyes
And I can taste you from here
Over by the window where the light is
And tonight we'll be lit by April storms
And the flickering static from the silent TV
In the corner of this room
Sepia days in bloom, wintercomessummer
Close your eyes in prayer, full brown
Sugar lips and we are in a bar
Visualize our veins
Transparent in the half light
A cargo of alcohol and amphetamine
Catching up like a diseased broken steam train
Wintercomessummer
La, la la la, la la la, la la la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la la la
La, la la la, la la la, la la la la
Above ourselves looking down, a glittering tinsel town
Those buses full of half lives, the lovers cars
At traffic lights, adultery, Sapphic tendencies
Bored lovers on a Saturday
Virgins on the verge of disappearing
The oriental family in Cantonese arguing
Summer
La, la la la, la la la, la la la la
We'll fall together through dusk until morning
Autumn was a sweet lay
But it's gorgeous brother
Dawning
