The very second time I walked in this room You knew that I was gone And just the way the sun slanted in Made it all seem wrong I know you say you love me And somewhere I think that you do I love all the tricks you've shown me I'll cut myself in two It's coming on again So I saw the newspaper that had burnt in the fire The headlines were rain Go walk outside and clear my head Down on Albion Lane
I know you live around here somewhere As I scan the sky I know that you sleep around here somewhere Where it's warm and dry On Saturday afternoon the crowds rolled in clouds Ignored the rumors of war We drink a toast to auld lang syne Stretched out on the floor I know you'll never remember And it's better that way Let this wine take your memory Of everything before today
