Deacon Blue - Closing Time lyrics

This is the way we walk This is how we walk At closing time These are the songs we sing These are our songs At closing time And in the clear Of this sweet moonshine We'll walk back To where we started On our own again This is my favourite time Drink up now and move outside It's closing time My most favourite lips Are on the girls that I kissed At closing time And in the clear of dear sweet moonshine We'll walk back To where we started On our own again When all the people are just Shuffling home When all the saddest things are Said and done And all the words are brighter In the happy light of Closing time We took the shortcut home Over the wood slat bridge And stood and gazed and wished Till all the clouds Had vanished Nothing could be missed And only the river pa**ed And there at the back of eleven In the late summer night A leaf landed soft Soft soft soft And sorrowful And your belly was warm As the day was long And night came upon us So fast Would you be poor Not to be sure That everything lasts for ever Some things don't get better Till you're on your own again When all the people are just Shuffling home When all the saddest things are Said and done And all the words are brighter In the happy light of Closing time When all the people are just Shuffling home When all the saddest things are Said and done And all the words are brighter In the happy light of Closing time We took the shortcut home Over the wood slat bridge And stood and stared and wished Till all the clouds Had vanished Nothing could be missed And only the river pa**ed And there at the back of eleven A leaf landed soft and sorrowful And your belly was warm And the day was long And night came upon us So fast So fast Came so fast Came so fast Came so fast And all we said Da da do do All we said was All we said was Was da da do do Was da da do do Da da do do And all we said Do do Do do Do do
